Portia: Doubled Profits!
Portia and her son
Last year, we introduced you to Portia, a resilient mother and entrepreneur from Zimbabwe who turned adversity into opportunity through entrepreneurship. Faced with the challenge of her eldest child's severe mental health issues and the loss of her husband's job, Portia's determination led her to start a recycling business, transforming her family and ensuring her son received the crucial medication he needed.
Today, we are excited to bring you an update on Portia's remarkable progress. By broadening the scope of materials she collects from the public, Portia has significantly enhanced her operational capacity. This strategic initiative, coupled with the upcoming addition of a new recycling machine, is set to quadruple her production capabilities.
Reflecting this upward trajectory, her monthly sales have impressively doubled in one year, with profits increasing 92% in the same period! This amazing growth not only showcases Portia's dedication to overcoming adversity and supporting her family, but also underscores her commitment to positively impacting her community.
Thank you for your continued support, which makes transformative stories like Portia's possible!
