I make a living off of my family coffee kiosk. However, with all the electric appliances used in the business, most of the profit went to the energy expenditure. With Taqati loan, I installed a solar energy system which helped decrease my energy bills while my household income increased!

Henna Artistry Blossoms in Salt
Transforming Tradition Into Triumph
In the vibrant city of Salt, Jordan, Balqees, a talented henna artist, decided to turn her passion into a thriving business. With Microfund for Women’s (MFW) support, Balqees received financial assistance and essential services.
She also began working with MFW to showcase her henna designs and reach a broader audience. Since a portion of her profits came from tourists, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Balkis faced significant challenges, but her resilience, creativity, and MFWs support saw her through.
Through these challenging times, MFW provided her with additional guidance and resources to adapt to the new circumstances. For her, MFW’s support went beyond financing. They helped connect her business with other businesses and broadened her products’ reach throughout Salt.
Her artistry became popular, which allowed her to support not only her financial needs but the needs of her family. With the unwavering support of MFW, she has transformed her passion into a successful business that benefits her and the community around her.
