Being a victim of the Anglophone crisis in Mautu, she just couldn’t stay on her own but struggled to survive by starting a small business selling Koki groundnut along the streets of Muyuka. Her main aim was to survive but with limited capital, Margaret’s business couldn’t survive because she has to feed herself and family from still that small business.
Hope came when she received the financial support from Reach Out Cameroon, she happens to be among the women who were identified in the community and supported with a grant of 171,600 FRS which is approximately $303 for a period of six months. With the cash at hand she has been able to scaled up her business. The joy she expressed on her face on the day of disbursement was indescribable. It brought her a sense of belonging knowing she can start all over again and make life meaningful for her and her family.
Thanks to the empowerment on entrepreneurship and business management she received through Reach Out Cameroon, she now sells in four different markets in Muyuka as before. With her dedication to the business she was able to save up and purchased a piece of land. Today Margaret now cultivates on that land both for commercial and home consumption purposes.
Thanks to your generous donations more girls like Margaret are been reached out to.
