Portia's Story | A Journey of Growth and Impact

Last year, we shared Portia Besa’s inspiring journey from Zimbabwe, where she turned a small business loan and training from Hope Ventures’ Gilead Project into a growing recycling enterprise. With your support, Portia has overcome personal challenges and created vital income for her family and her community.

In this video, recorded during the early days of her journey, Portia shares her story firsthand. Since then, her business has grown even further, with monthly profits doubling and community impact multiplying. We’re excited to show you this glimpse into her early vision and the resilience that’s powered her success.
