Netra

Location: Nepal

Netra has taken two microloans from Whole Planet Foundation’s microfinance partner Nirdhan Utthan Bank in Nepal. Her loans have allowed her to transform her small stand into a full-fledged grocery. With her loans, she purchased a fridge and stock of drinks for sale and was also able to build the physical structure of her shop with the capital. Netra had just repaid her second loan of about $640 USD when we met her in September 2018 and was ready to apply for a third.
