Real Transformation through Micro Business Assistance
Thank you for your generosity, Obor Berkat Indonesia (OBI) has transformed the lives of families in Madiun, East Java. In March 2024, five families in dire need received micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) capital assistance, which has brought new hope and endless possibilities.
One of the beneficiaries of your kindness is Mrs. Vivi, a 44-year-old mother and wife who had to take over the family’s breadwinning responsibilities after her husband suffered a heart attack. With OBI’s support, Mrs. Vivi was able to start a tea selling business in front of her house, a venture that provided financial relief for her family despite challenging circumstances. Initially without a canopy, her business posed difficulties for customers when it rained, but Mrs. Vivi’s desire to provide better service was realized when OBI helped address this issue.
With capital assistance from OBI in the form of canopy stands, boots, cup sealers, and other promotional materials, Mrs. Vivi can now serve her customers in comfort and style. Since receiving assistance, her tea business has operated from Monday to Saturday and sells out every day, with profits exceeding expectations. “The turnover is decent although not yet stable. These school children can come, about 20 of them, all at once after school,” Mrs. Vivi said, expressing optimism and gratitude for the support provided.
Mrs. Vivi’s story reflects the strength and resilience provided by OBI’s support. It is a testament that your help is not just a financial transaction, but also an encouragement and a way for many families to achieve independence and success.
“Thank you very much OBI for your support, not only for the business capital assistance. But most of all, the prayer support from OBI is amazing,” Mrs. Vivi said.
Every donation you make has a significant impact. Together with OBI, you are not just helping, but you are part of a sustainable change in the lives of many people. Let us continue your support so that more transformation stories like Mrs. Vivi’s can be reallized.
