Raising debt financing (a loan) for your creative business with Jeannine Umutoniwase

Jeannine Umutoniwase, CEO at Azizi Life Ltd, has a conversation with us to demystify how her creative business raised debt financing, the specific things that she was able to put her loan towards and the learnings that other creative businesses can take from her experiences. Over the years, Azizi Life's work has literally transformed the lives of the women and communities that it works with while managing to grow within and beyond Rwanda. Meaningful growth is a multi-pronged achievement for their business which is realised through economic security, storytelling, community, universally beautiful crafts and spirituality.
