About the author

I'm Ângela and I met Jenny in 2022, during one of my volunteer visits to Mozambique. Since then, I've been following her situation and helping her as much as I can. However, her recent request for help to start a small business and support her family is beyond what I can offer alone. That's why I decided to create this campaign, using this platform that I already use to support other causes. I believe that, together, we can make a big difference in this family's life.

Budget and due dates

The aim of this campaign is to raise funds so that Jenny can set up a small business selling essential food products. The fundraising period will be approximately one month because it is urgent to get the project off the ground. The estimated budget will be allocated as follows:

1. Construction of a Commercial Structure : Build a small "store" that will serve as a point of sale and storage for products.

2. Acquisition of Initial Stock : Purchase of basic necessities in sufficient quantity to begin commercial activities.

3. Obtaining Travel Documentation : Issuing a passport so that Márcia can travel to South Africa, where the prices of some products are more affordable, allowing her to purchase goods at more competitive prices. Costs associated with travel to South Africa and transporting the products to Marracuene.
