Jane has made significant investments in her poultry farm with 4G Capital business loans, growing 500% in size (from 200 to 1000 hens) over 4 years.

Mary Wanjiru Maina
Baker
Number of 4G Capital loans: 35
Mary’s bakery began with a wooden spoon and a small charcoal oven, baking only 2 kg of flour a day. With no personal savings to invest in her business, and unable to meet bank requirements for business loans, Mary had no way to expand her bakery to meet local demand. Since becoming a 4G Capital client Mary has invested in a mixing machine, 2 electrical ovens and now bakes 120 kg of flour a day. Suppliers collect her produce daily and distribute to local shops, steadily increasing her customer base.
