At the heart of Dire Microfinance – Kezira Branch lies a mission: to empower women through financial inclusion and help they play a transformative role in their communities. By opening doors to credit and savings, Dire Microfinance has enabled countless women to step out of the household and into the marketplace, becoming leaders of growth and development.
One shining example of this journey is Genet Birhanu. For more than 10 years, she has been a loyal client of Dire Microfinance. Her story began with a modest loan of 50,000 birr. With determination and discipline, she grew her business step by step. Today, she has reached a milestone — accessing loan services worth 2.5 million birr. This growth has not only transformed her business but also brought meaningful changes to her family life.
Genet specializes in food and hospitality. She has used her loans wisely, invested them with purpose, and repaid them responsibly. Her success is a testament to the power of financial support combined with hard work. She proudly acknowledges that Dire Microfinance laid the foundation for her achievements. Strengthening this partnership, she now looks ahead with confidence — envisioning herself as the owner of a large café, a symbol of her next chapter.
Her message to others is heartfelt and inspiring: “For those with ideas and ambition but limited financial means, Dire Microfinance is a trusted partner. Take the step, engage with the institution, and become a beneficiary.”
