Impact Spotlight

Al Omaidi

Living in Amman, Jordan, Mana Al-Obaidi took over her family’s small dairy farm in 2015. Since then, she has received multiple loans from Microfund for Women (MFW), supporting the growth of her business. The SANAD advisory and capacity building function has also provided training in small projects, financial literacy, and marketing and helped Al-Obaidi participate in several fairs to display her products and grow her client base.
But following the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was in a critical position. At this time, financing from MFW not only saved the business but helped Al-Obaidi increase her sales, customers, and revenue, and create new products.

I learned that seeking appropriate funding and consulting specialized professionals for financial guidance was the best way to develop and save my business.
