Toward a provision store
Stronger Women, Stronger Nations Program · Gar · Gar22
I used to give my children detergent to sell for me, but after RISD gave me cartons of detergent, I sold it and used the profit to add soap, salt, and Maggi to my business. I now sell them in front of our compound, which I hope to turn into a big provision store someday.
