Hassia is 30 years old with 9 children. She lives in a village in Niger and is scheduled to receive a Gemach Loan this month to better her life.
The average salary in Niger is less that a dollar a day, so this loan will be equal to more than three months labor. With it she will start raising goats which will provide her with the opportunity to put food on the table, provide medicine for the family and enroll her children in school.
