Entrepreneur Biography
Qamar Abu Roob is a 31-year-old Palestinian woman who lives in the West Bank village of Jalboun with her husband and two toddlers. Qamar only completed secondary school, but she has every intention of sending her children to school and seeing them all the way through to university. Her husband works in an office, earning approximately $350 a month; he also works in a barber shop, but his work there is based on meager and irregular tips. After Qamar got married, she spent a lot of time with her husband’s family, whose livelihood is farming. She watched, and she learned. She helped out whenever she could, but she also began coming up with her own ideas about avoiding risks and challenges, so she decided to start her own greenhouse project.
 
Loan Details
Qamar took her first loan from Asala to establish her income-generating project and set up her “plastic” house. She successfully and responsibly repaid her loan, and her seedlings did well. She now needs a second loan of $5,000 to buy more seeds, saplings, crates, and bags for her project. Qamar is a hard worker and believes that someday she can make a substantial profit from her project and help contribute to her growing family’s expenses. She agreed to a repayment plan of 22 monthly installments.
