Jhoanna, in her never-ending search for a better life and financial stability for her family, started a business three years ago making prepared foods in Montelíbano. She is currently working out of the garage at her home. She also offers home catering services.
She is 36 years old and lives with her husband and three children who have been her main support in building her business. She is currently requesting a loan to buy supplies such as bread, meats, potatoes, styrofoam containers, vegetables and serving utensils for the buffet. Her goal is to keep growing, have her own restaurant and be known within her community.
Jhoanna has grown a lot thanks to her passion for cooking and her talent for seasoning her dishes. She and her husband hope that the earnings from this business will enable them to finance their children's education.
