Because of You, Dewi Can Run Her Vegetable Cart Business with Ease 

There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing the bright smile of a mother who has found new strength to provide for her family. Because of your help, families like Dewi’s can now fight hunger and care for the people they love. 

Dewi Lestari, 40, is a vegetable vendor who lives in Bali with her husband and two children. Her husband once had to stop working after an accident and now earns a living as an online motorcycle driver. Life hasn’t been easy for their family. Because a large portion of their income goes toward paying off debts, they often struggle to keep up with their children’s tuition fees at PAUD Super5. 

For years, Dewi sold vegetables, fruits, fish, and meat using a small pushcart. To carry more goods, she added baskets to the sides of the cart, even though it made it harder to push. But everything began to change when you helped her through OBI by providing business capital support. The assistance included a new, sturdier, and larger cart that’s easier to push—along with a cooler box. 

The cooler box has been a big help in keeping her fish and chicken fresh for longer. Now, she can carry more goods and reach more customers. Her increased income allows her to pay for her children’s school fees and the family’s rent. 

A while ago, the new cart was damaged, but OBI continued to assist and help repair it so that Dewi could return to selling comfortably and keep her business running smoothly.
