Meet Brenda
Brenda has always enjoyed helping her friends decorate and plan their parties. Three years ago, she joined Grameen America and was able to turn her hobby into a business. With the help of microloans, Brenda was able to set up a small party supply store in south LA and has expanded it ever since. Brenda now sells supplies for all types of parties and events—graduations, birthdays, anniversaries—and she has a variety of decorations, balloons, favors, and other items. She wanted to sell flowers as well and used a recent loan to purchase a refrigerator, which allows her to keep the flowers cool and fresh. Most importantly, thanks to Grameen America, Brenda is now saving for her business and her future.
