Agnes's Story

From Candy to Community Store

Agnes used to sell candy on the street. It wasn't a business plan — it was survival. One piece at a time, one day at a time.

When she joined WFA, she received a small loan. That loan became a shop. And that shop? It now sells most of the essential goods needed by her entire village.

Agnes didn't just change her own life. She became a resource for her community — the person her neighbors turn to for what they need. What started as a handful of candy became something no one could have predicted: a woman at the center of her village's daily life, providing, sustaining, thriving.

One loan. One woman. One village changed.
