Those employed are paid monthly salary and are also able to provide food, education etc to their family.
It my vision to expand my personal business in a large scale within the next two years, by adding different item line to the products I sale and supply.
Currently, I supply, toiletries to 15 communities averagely with about 1200 pieces of toilet rolls per week.

2. Baby’s diapers at $ 200

4. Varieties of soaps at $ 130
5. Detergents and hands sanitizes at $ 60
In all a totally of $ 1,260 to purchase enough products for sale, with a staff capacity of four.
