About The Project

$13000 is the total investment needed at this time
$6000 is the amount Otis and his family are contributing

In March 2020 Otis got a $100 investment from CII and in just one month he was able to increase his business revenue 170%. By July 2020 he had increased his sales to $1,700 or by 368%. He plans to continue to grow and with additional investments he hopes to employ more than 9 from the neighborhood.  This business has a good chance of growing and creating more jobs. 

Kuopar's Construction Product and Services is a successful business venture in Buchanan, that continues to produce quality blocks for the people of Buchanan. The growth and success of this business will not only help Mr Otis Kuopar's family but will also help create employment for the people of Buchanan. With your investment he will be one step closer to his goal of purchasing a bigger truck, which will help transport the blocks to different customers in Buchanan. The success of his business will help shape the economic lives of his employees and allow him to contribute meaningfully to building the economy. 


Otis continues to dream of expansion for his successful concrete block business, currently he "has a small committed and dedicated workforce". With your help he will hire more in his community and be the leading concrete block business in Buchanan


Paying it Forward

Otis is a good business person and has been helping other families in Buchanan including one also making concrete blocks.  He invests in others so they can support themselves.  In May 2020 he invested in a neighbor so they could start a business selling cold mineral water.  He hopes to encourage more entrepreneurship.

Backstory

LB0047:  Otis kuopar is a man of a family of six.On March 15, 2018 he established his own block factory in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County. He was able to do so with the help of friends who taught him how to make concrete blocks. After he got the skill to make concrete blocks for sale he was able to get contracts from people. For every contract he got, he saved at least $50 for six months and was able to start his own business. Otis has been able to continue producing concrete blocks and create employment for six and now even more  people. He is currently renting a shop at the New Buchanan Junction for his business. Transportation of his blocks to his customers has been a challenge, because of that he is saving up money to  buy a truck. He is fortunate, his brother Philip Kuopar from the United States gave him $6000 to help Otis achieve that goal.
