Helping Gladys help herself

By Marc Serna | Project Leader

Gladys is one of the most impressive girls we have worked with since we started our program in Tole in 2012. From the time she received the grant till now, there has been really a lot of improvement and everyone around her can testify about it. She is the breadwinner of her family and has to put every bit of her energy to see that her business succeeds.  She started buying and selling banana in Tole and made a great profit out of it and later on decided to get into motorbike spare parts business and built the small mechanics shop that inspired this project. The business has been good so far and she keeps accurate records in her books. Thanks to you, donors.

With your support, we gave her a business grant and later on she also took a low-interest loan to improve their business. She was able to pay back very quick, in 3 installments instead of 6. Your generous donations that started this chain.

Gladys has had some challenges so far but among which is the fact that other competitors have entered into the same business. ’’The turnover is not the same compared to when I was the only one selling motorbike spare parts in Tole’’  there are now some other people selling spare parts in tole and the competition is really tough given the fact that one of them has a motorbike mechanic (repairer) which has made her lose some customers. Despite these challenges, she keeps growing. ‘’I always make  profit no matter the situation’’.

‘’I want to say thank you for helping me and the others especially us the ladies to do business and making us become useful not to be jobless and not depending on our boyfriends and family any longer. Thank you’’
