She lights up as she tells us about being a cook, opening the restaurant serving rice and beans, expanding the menu, adding indoor seating... She glows with pride as she describes the success and accomplishment she feels from growing her business.
This is certainly the result of her hard work, coupled with a micro-loan of approximately $100 USD that helped it all get started. Over the last 5 years the restaurant has produced enough income for her husband, Andrew, to build a small house. They can afford to live independently and rent part of the house for an additional income stream. Faith and Andrew are working together to build a life, provide for their family and are well on their way to self-sufficiency.
These are the outcomes of MOHI's work - believing in and supporting the dreams of an individual - remarkable! We could all use a little more "Faith" in our lives!
