Fikrete's Story

"Starting a business through Seeds of Africa's micro-finance program has brought a lot of positive changes for me and my whole family. I know have an attitude of “YES I CAN” in business making, female contribution in income generation and even leading the family." - Fikrete Fantave 

Fikrete is the mother of a Seed's student and is an active participant in our Sowing Community trainings and seminars. Once completing business training and creating her Injera Baking business plan, Seeds approved her into the micro-finance program granting her 4500 birr. Before starting her business she depended on her husband to support the entire family on 600 birr/month. Through our program she is now making a net profit of 4000 birr/month, repaying her loan each month and putting additional money in savings.
