Beginning with a loan of just $48, Adelaide Barutwanayo grew her clothing sales business in the markets of Gitega, Burundi, to a point where she could comfortably provide for her two children, ages 6 and 13. “[HOPE’s partner] Turame has helped me feed my family. Now I am sure I can build a house,” Adelaide says of her dreams for the future.
