Details of the prize pool objectives

Hello / good night.

My sister is a young single mother who has two children (a 5 year old daughter and a 1 year old boy) from different fathers. Without the humble help of our parents (who are retirees), meeting the needs of her two children is very difficult for her. In fact, since the birth of her boy, she has been unemployed and none of the fathers of her two children help her financially. The father of his daughter even refused paternity. My sister currently lives with her children with our parents.

To get by and have some income, my sister bakes cakes, bissap and ginger juices and sells them. But the income from this activity barely helps her meet her children's needs. Our parents are getting older and all of these things are painful and very stressful for my sister. Her health is taking a hit (she is depressed) and seeing her like that without being able to give her what she wants most (financial freedom) saddens me.

In my quest to help him, I began to offer him entrepreneurial ideas and find him tasks on the net (something not easy) that will allow him to make ends meet. We finally opted for entrepreneurship. My sister always dreamed of being on her own. My sister's business is to start a shoe manufacturing company for babies and children (girl and boy) from 1 to 10 years old. To make this project a reality, my sister followed a two-month training course in shoemaking sponsored by an NGO in the country.

To undertake says financing. And to find this funding, I started to research the net. My various searches allowed me to discover your site. Browsing your website and knowing what is at stake in its design has motivated me to share our story with you and the goal we want to achieve: the realization of the project my sister, "the creation of a shoe manufacturing company for babies and children (girl and boy) from 1 to 10 years old ".

Thanks to your donations, you will not only realize my sister's project. But you will also mend a broken life, bring hope and joy to a young mother and her children and peace of soul to our parents.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening to this cry of distress. GOD will reward you a hundredfold. Be a thousand times blessed.
