Growing up in a small village, life taught me resilience early on. My family had little, so I helped my mother with the garden, learning the hard work and dedication needed to grow food. My schooling wasn’t always consistent at times, we lacked money for essentials. But with determination, I pushed through, working odd jobs to support my education.

Later, I graduated with pride, knowing every achievement was a step closer to my dream of providing a better life for my family. Through sheer grit, I saved enough to start a small business selling tomatoes and fresh groceries, focusing on quality and building trust with my community. As the business grew, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment, knowing I was creating something meaningful.

My greatest joy, however, is my children. They’re bright and eager, each dreaming of becoming computer engineers a world apart from my own childhood. I’m dedicated to giving them the resources and encouragement to achieve that dream.

In my free time, I find peace in singing. It’s a hobby that brings me joy and connects me to others, giving me energy for the challenges of daily life. With the community’s support, I aim to expand my business further, enabling me to save for my children’s education and inspire others in my village to pursue their dreams

My business is rooted in providing fresh, high-quality groceries to my community, with a special focus on tomatoes, leafy greens, root vegetables, fruits, and everyday essentials. Each product is carefully sourced, either directly from local farmers or grown in our farm, ensuring that our customers receive the freshest produce available. Tomatoes, my primary item, are especially popular due to their versatility—used in everything from stews to salads, they’re a staple in most households. The demand for fresh, nutritious food has only grown, and I’m proud to meet that need with consistent quality and fair prices.

Choosing to start this grocery business was a natural decision. Food is fundamental, and as someone who values the power of good nutrition, I wanted to serve the community by making quality produce accessible. The typical cost of sourcing goods varies seasonally, but I work hard to balance costs to ensure affordability for customers. Revenue is steady and allows me to cover operating expenses, with a modest profit margin.

Every bit of profit is carefully allocated. A large portion goes toward my children’s education, helping them pursue their dreams of becoming computer engineers. The remainder is reinvested in expanding the business—improving storage facilities, expanding our range of products, and sourcing from new suppliers to keep up with demand. With community support, I hope to continue growing this business, ensuring a stable future for my family and fresh groceries for our community.

With the funds you’ve provided, I plan to purchase fresh tomatoes and onions for my grocery business. These high-demand items are essentials for many households, so stocking them will not only attract more customers but also ensure they can find everything they need in one place. This increased variety will help boost sales and bring in more customers, ultimately raising my profits. By expanding my offerings with your support, I’ll be able to serve my community better, keep my business competitive, and continue to grow sustainably. Thank you for making this possible
