September in Cameroon is a period where students return to school. During this period, parents struggle to buy books, and every other thing their children will need to go back to school. In most areas in Cameroon, women are the one's who carry most of the burden to buy uniforms, books, and pay tuition for their children . That is why Breaking Ground decided to train female entrepreneurs, and help them start their own businesses which will help them send their children to school with ease. As schools were about resuming, we visited some of the female entrepreneurs to see how they are coping.
One of them is Eva, a single mother with three kids. Remember her? She is one of the entrepreneurs who received loan from us. She started a poultry farm with the loan given her. She had 350 fowls in her poultry and has sucessfully sold all the first set of fowls she had, despite challenges she faced and the competition in market. " I had to do everything possible to sell the fowls before September, so i can use some of the benefits to send my kids to school, and im happy i succeeded". Said Eva joyously when visited by Breaking Ground members.
Breaking Ground says thanks to you all for helping us help Eva, a single mother with three kids,send her children back to school, this academic year with ease. She will start rearing fowls for christmas this month.
