When Boshra was six, she played imaginary pharmacist and gave out prescriptions to her cousins and school friends, signed: Boshra, Pharmacist, from Boshra's Pharmacy.

In 2003, Boshra, now a fully qualified pharmacist, opened her place of business: Boshra's Pharmacy.

But in her first year she wasn't just struggling, her shelves were practically empty, as was her cash box. Too proud to turn to family for financial help, she continued to serve her clients with diligence often calling them up to remind them to take their medication, or that medication they had purchased from her pharmacy had expired, and running out to deliver medication to those who were too old or too infirm to reach the pharmacy.

Boshra had heard of Tamweelcom and it struck her one day that perhaps a small loan might just help.

In 2010, when her first loan helped fill up the empty shelves and earn her a tidy income, Boshra set her sights on her real ambitions. She wanted to make natural healing products. Boshra conducted her own research and assessed her clients' general needs.

She then took on another loan from Tamweelcom with the full support of her case manager. She purchased her first active ingredients for her own line of natural healing products for the skin. Boshra had seen her clients' frequent distress at the condition of their skin, the pain and discomfort certain conditions gave. She knew that imported products were aimed at mild and general skin conditions with no ability to treat specific skin problems.

Boshra's clientele grew steadily. Her list of natural skin healing products grew as well. Her case manager supported her with ways to market and promote her products. Boshra's reputation, like her list of clients and products, sustainably grew.

“The first Tamweelcom loan picked me up”, Boshra says. She continues “it allowed the pharmacy to survive, but the second Tamweelcom loan launched the skin healing products. So I don't just have a successful business, I have a place where people can come to find solutions to their unique medical problems.”
