Final Report - May 09, 2010

Mrs. Sara used her loan by buying the raw materials for cooking high quality artesanal bread. Her bread has become very popular.

She made her special bread every week for those in her community, and she has also started selling her bread to people in nearby communities. Now some bread stores have also asked to carry her bread!

As her sales have increased, her profits have increased as well. In addition to reinvesting some of her profits in her business, she has been able to provide better for her family.

Mrs. Sara has repaid her loan in full. These loan funds are now available for another worthy entrepreneur in her community.

Thank you for your support of Mrs. Sara and World Vision Micro.
