Helping in Business

This young mother of a little girl, living in the village of Santo, now lives in a new house. She was living in a tent when we last visited her village in June. Wow, is she happy for this upgrade in living conditions! The little house will have a partition built to separate one end for operating a store which will sell food and cooking products. The little window is where patrons will come to make their purchases. She plans to make a profit by purchasing in bulk from Port au Prince and selling at an increased price at her locale. Some of the profits are to be kept aside to pay back into our, or an affiliate, organization. We’ll be tracking this project closely and trying to guide it along.
There are also a couple of other business projects we are involved in other locations. One is a barbeque in a small village where the locals (and me when I’m there!) will be able to purchase a ready-made meal. And yet another is a fishing supplies business which will purchase mono-filament string, hooks, etc. and sell to the fishermen who launch their boats from the beach next to the young entrepreneur’s village. It works out well for the buyer and seller which all business should!

We have a few other irons in the fire too regarding business and welcome your input. We have seen success in the motorcycle taxi business and some other ventures and look forward to seeing more success in our present endeavors.
