As we continue to empower opportunity through fellowship, it is our distinct pleasure to announce Adel Atia Habib as September’s Business Partner of the Month. 

 

Adel, a 43-year old husband and father of two sons, had to leave school at an early age to support his family. His father was diagnosed with a condition that immobilized both of his knees and that required expensive surgery. His family could not afford the procedures so Adel and his three siblings each left school to work and contribute to their father’s medical expenses. Adel was never able to return to school and achieve his initial dream of becoming a helicopter engineer but in the process of supporting his family he found a new dream, owning his own business. 

 

Adel was introduced to Koinonia in April of 2019. He had experience in the pesticide industry but needed some seed funding to start his own company. After fine tuning his business plan with the KV team, he was granted a loan of 23,000 L.E. to purchase materials for his business like pesticide equipment, uniforms, and printed signs.
