    Following project: Heavy Weight Block Factory.
    LB0005:  In 2016, Factory Owner Tamba David started his former business by selling roasted meat and boil atayea tea through a machine called the "push-push" wheelbarrow. Through this wheelbarrow business, Tamba generated a daily income of around $12.50, of which he saved around $7.50 for future growth opportunities for his business. However, Tamba soon developed health problems as the fire fumes from the fire coal pot that is carried in the push-push wheelbarrow began affecting his breathing and overall health. After enduring worsening health outcomes during four months of work, Tamba decided to buy a new motorbike to replace the wheelbarrow.  A year later, Tamba decided to begin a new business, selling cement blocks to local customers. He started this block molding business with $200 USD, which was used to buy 20 bags of cement. Tamba is the primary supporter of his family, extended relatives and will help other community members with his business profits.

    Hi Everyone, Join me on donating to this project!

    Dontated $47.59     to this project - Own Your Own Provisions
    LB0046:  Initially, in 2012, the company Sando’s husband was working for closed and he was paid off. The money he got from the company was used to complete their house and they stopped paying rent. Her husband is an agriculturist and with what he was generating from the vegetable garden, they could not meet the full support of the home. So she decided to start a small market with $700 LRD ($3.50 USD). The money was used to buy $500 LRD ($2.50 USD) farinha or gari, $100 LRD ($0.50 USD) sugar, and $100 LRD ($0.50 USD) to change the flavor. It gave rise to new taste to customers. From that point, customers started coming to purchase it on the increase. From the little investment, she accumulated $2,100 LRD ($10.50 USD). After that, she did a market survey to know the main needs of the community dwellers. From the survey, she included rice, palm oil, argo oil, and dry pepper in what is considered to be Kissi market. Kissi is an ethnic tribe in Liberia, who are originally from Lofa County. In two months’ time, she was able to generate $5,500 LRD ($27.50 USD). Eventually, she joined a weekly susu of $30,000 LRD ($150 USD) with ten persons. She was the last person to receive payout in the amount of $30,000 LRD ($150 USD). She used the money to add up her initial capital. At present, her business is mixed dry goods made of all varieties of products. She compensates two persons, herself, friends, and family members as gestures. With the current economic challenge in Liberia, this is the only means the family depends on to feed the home and takes care of their basic needs.
