Overview
I am an illiterate single mother who never went to school. This has excluded me from decent-paying jobs and severely limited my access to income-earning opportunities. I am currently a housemaid earning very little - barely enough to get by.
My goal is to start a small business selling refreshing cold drinks and cold water. Because of the hot and humid weather, there is a high demand for cold drinks. People involved in this business in my community make a decent profit.
I need help with purchasing a deep freezer, 2 large coolers / ice-chests, and other accessories needed to start selling cold drinks.
Meeting this need will enable me to start a business and make a huge difference in my life. With this second source of income, I will be able to feed and better take care of my special needs daughter.
