SBE 2024 Beneficiary Frugal Empowerment Foundation
Mary is a small business owner who sells seasonal fruits to support her family. Her stall may be small, but it plays a big role in her daily life ”helping her feed her children and handle everyday expenses.
Because her business depends on seasonal fruits, things can be unpredictable. Prices change often, and sometimes it’s hard to get fresh stock. Still, Mary works hard each day, doing her best to keep her business going.
In 2024, Mary became a beneficiary of the Frugal Empowerment Foundations Small Business Empowerment (SBE) Project. With the support she received, she was able to buy more fruits during the peak season, attract more customers, and improve her earnings.
