Challenge
For more than a decade, Mrs. Leak dedicated herself to building her small retail business, offering a variety of products including clothing, cosmetics and grocery items. In addition to her shop, she also raised pigs to diversify her income and strengthen her household's financial stability. Located in an area far from the main market, her business had become a convenient outlet for local residents. However, with growing customer demand, she recognised the opportunity to expand her operations but lacked the necessary working capital to stock a wider range of products and increase her inventory.
