About The Project

$715 needed to purchase a knitting machine, yarn and to pay rent for her workspace
$140 contributed by Zeridah towards her project


With an initial investment Zeridah bought a used knitting machine and more yarn. She plans to increase her knitting production and this increased income will help pay for her children’s school tuition. She also invested in her local saving program for future business needs. From the shared experiences of other project families, she would like to start poultry business.



Paying it Forward

Zeridah will be paying the investment forward by continuing to donate food to those in need. She will also be providing clothing for sale locally.

Backstory

Zeridah lives with her husband and five children, four are in school. Her husband was in an accident and has not been able to work. She is proud that she has been able to support the family. She acknowledges that an education will lead to getting jobs, but that the local schools have inadequate teachers. The challenges her family faces are the long distance to water taps and medical centers. She would like to see medical centers built closer to her community and therefore people could make regular visits. Zeridah and her friends promote tourism and would like to see more restaurants in her community.
