Overview
I am a 26 year old grocer, mother of two, and wife. When I gave birth I got an injury called obstetric fistula. It was painful and hard to deal with in my daily life, but now I'm healthy.
My goals are to expand my grocery business enough to support my children. I want to pay for their school fees, uniforms, and books so they can have good educations.
I need $200 to buy a small shop space to move my business into and to buy more inventory.
Meeting this need will help me because I did a business training with an organization called Beyond Fistula so I know how to run my shop and earn a good income. I only need the capital to get it off the ground, then I will be able to earn enough to feed my family and pay my children's school fees.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Joyce fund this need.
