With the initial loan of $260, I bought learning materials at $190 and the children are now happy learning using new stationery, modelling clay and charts. The purchase of new charts has increased pupils’ morale and encouraged parents to be more responsible in paying the school fee on time which has helped to raise enough money to pay teachers salary. Our earning has increased by 90% over the year 2017. The increased earnings have been used to pay teachers, buy chalk for use in the classrooms and partly pay my college fees at $70. Once again be blessed for your generosity!

Printing machine. It helped me to reduce expenses incurred by the business in outsourcing printing services. It has increased customer satisfaction because of confidentiality of customers documents and made my work easier and efficient since i no longer need to run outside the office to print documents. it has increased my revenue by 2%. To pay my children school fess, cater for other family needs and plough back the rest to the business. It has improved our living standards as a family since we can now afford decent shelter,clothing and food for our family as a result of increased profits.
