NEAT Microcredit

Dear Business owners, we got you!!!! Take Iya Barakat, for instance, one of our clients at the Owode market in Offa. She’s a hard-working vendor who primarily sells fresh vegetables and spices—tomatoes and peppers being her mainstay. During a recent learning series, Rafiu Balogun brought her story to light. He noted that, like many small traders, Iya Barakat sometimes struggles with the spoilage of her fresh produce, particularly her tomatoes and peppers. This is a common challenge faced by vendors dealing with perishable goods. But rather than just sympathizing, we saw an opportunity to help her preserve her produce, add value to her products, and potentially increase her income. We plan to educate Iya Barakat on simple, effective methods for preserving tomatoes and peppers. By learning the process of grinding, boiling, sieving (to extract water), and storing the paste in airtight containers, she can create her own preserved tomato and pepper paste. Not only will this extend the shelf life of her products, but it could also open up new possibilities for her to sell preserved paste alongside fresh produce. This preservation process—known as creating a tomato and pepper paste—is straightforward, yet powerful. It’s an approach that will allow her to reduce wastage, increase her revenue, and offer her customers something new. And we’re not stopping there; we’re already discussing the possibility of setting her up with a grinding machine. This simple tool could be a game-changer, enabling her to process larger quantities, save time, and add value to her business in a sustainable way. At NEAT Microcredit, we don’t just provide loans. We walk alongside our clients, providing practical solutions and tools to help them succeed. We believe in growing businesses and transforming lives, one step at a time, just as we’re doing for Iya Barakat.

Bello’s Journey to Success with NEAT Microcredit Bello was sorting vegetables at his stall when Zainab, his customer, approached. Over the years, they’d become friends, and today, Zainab was curious. “Bello, your business is booming! What’s your secret?” she asked with a smile. Bello paused, a thoughtful look crossing his face. “It wasn’t always like this, Zainab. My stall was small, and I struggled to keep up with demand. But I had a vision to grow. The only problem? I didn’t have the capital.” Zainab listened intently. “One day, I heard about NEATmicrocredit, a company that provides small loans to help people like me expand. They guided me, helped me plan my business, and taught me how to manage the loan wisely.” Zainab raised an eyebrow. “And it worked?” Bello smiled. “It did. I used the loan to stock more produce, rent cold storage to keep things fresh, and hire a delivery driver. Slowly, my business grew, and I could serve more customers.” Zainab beamed. “That’s incredible, Bello! It’s clear the loan made a real difference.” “It did,” Bello said, his eyes bright with pride. “But it wasn’t just the loan. It was the support from NEAT Microcredit that helped me take smart steps. Now I’m not only growing my business but also creating jobs in the community.” Zainab smiled warmly. “You’ve come a long way. I’m proud of you.” Bello grinned, his heart full. “Thanks, Zainab. With hard work and the right support, anything is possible. And this is just the beginning!” As Zainab walked away, Bello couldn’t help but feel grateful. His journey from a small stall to a thriving business was just the start. With the right support, dreams really could come true.

What’s that?” Jimmy explained how the loan helped him upgrade his bakery with new ovens, bigger counters, and more storage. “I’ve got space to work now, and everything runs so much smoother. No collateral, no hidden fees—just a simple, supportive process.” Joe was impressed. “That sounds amazing. I’ve been thinking about a loan, but I don’t want to get buried in debt.

Once upon a time in the city of Kaduna, there was a young entrepreneur named Amina. She had a dream—to open a boutique filled with colorful fabrics and handcrafted designs that represented her heritage and creativity. But like many dreams, hers came with a big hurdle: she didn’t have enough funds to bring her vision to life. Amina had been selling her designs at local markets, saving every naira she could, but running a boutique was expensive. Her friends told her about NEAT Microcredit, an organization known for supporting small businesses with more than just loans. Nervous but hopeful, Amina walked into the NEAT office and was welcomed with warm smiles. Jesse, a Relationship Officer listened attentively to her story, her vision, and her worries. They didn’t just offer her a loan; they shared advice on managing finances, running a business, and reaching new customers. The loan, tailored to her needs, was flexible enough to ease her worries about repayment. With the support of NEAT Microcredit, Amina was able to transform her dreams into reality. Her boutique opened to the delight of the community, filled with vibrant fabrics, unique styles, and the rich stories behind each design. As she grew, NEAT was by her side, providing resources, insights, and the encouragement she needed. Today, Amina’s boutique is a thriving part of the community, and she continues to expand her vision, creating jobs and inspiring other young entrepreneurs. Her journey from dreams to achievements is a testament to NEAT’s belief in empowering businesses. For Amina, NEAT Microcredit was more than a loan provider—it was a partner that shared in her dreams, helped build her resilience, and walked with her on the path to success. And so, her legacy grew, a beacon of dreams made real with a little help and a lot of heart.
