How Milkah’s Business Thrived Post-Covid

During the pandemic, it was very clear that our Business Start-up Training was going to be put to the test. What we taught, how we taught it, and the biblical principals. All of the teachings were hopefully going to be put to use, as most, if not all businesses came to a halt when COVID-19 arrived.

Milkah, a woman and shop owner in Ndibai Community helped us learn how our Business Start-up Training helped her think outside the box and shift her business multiple times during the pandemic in order to continue making a living. Not only did she do that successful through 2020, but her business grew during the pandemic and allowed her to employ two other Ndibai women.

We are so grateful for everyone who supports and prays for Ndibai community and our Business Start-up Training program, it is making a huge difference in the communities and peoples lives where we work!
