A Business Blossoms

By Sylvester Renner | Project Leader

Fatmata's business blossoms
Fatmata's business blossoms

Dear Project Supporters,

Fatmata has been selling dried smoked fish since she was a teenager and opening a small business has been her long-time dream.

The funds she received from this GlobalGiving project helped provide the needed resources to supply her new business with a range of fish processing ingredients, equipment and furniture. With these items, she was able to start her business and make a huge difference in her and her family's life.

Her business has blossomed with the help of her husband Mohamed. He is currently unemployed, but helps her dry the fish for market.

In addition, the funding she received helped her extend their single room with a nice frontage and make their place more secure.

They have been able to pay their children's school fees and provide them with proper clothing. They are now neatly dressed for school, church and other activities.

YOU, made this happen!

Thanks so much for your support.

Best Regards,

Develop Africa team
