Congo

Olivier currently studies at the University of Mbandaka in the
field of economic sciences. This is the first loan that GLOBE
has granted to a student, to support a new business and his child.
The loan has been granted to Olivier for his trading operations and
not for his studies. The income he will generate from his new
business will provide primarily for his daughter. He will purchase
goods in a community outside of Mbandaka and then return to his
town to sell those goods; directly benefiting two different
communities.
