About The Project

$900 needed to purchase a knitting machine
$285 contributed by Joyce towards her project


Joyce's immediate goals are to buy her own knitting machine and rent a larger space to work. Your investment will help her accomplish her first stage of her business expansion. With addition investment and a growing profit, Joyce would like to buy a sewing machine. She wants to expand her clothing line and learn to design and sew clothing from fabric. Her third goal is to add a retail fabric shop to the clothing business.



Paying it Forward

With a knitting and sewing machine, and larger shop, Joyce can contribute to her community by teaching others how to sew and knit clothing.

Backstory

Joyce lives with her large, adult family. Two of her siblings are still in school. The rest of the family contributes to the household income by growing Irish Potatoes, beans, corn, wheat. They would like to buy more land for their produce business. The family has the same challenges as most of the community, to live in a more stable house with a better sanitation system, access to safe drinking water and improving their diet with a wider range of vegetables.
