Jordan
Displaced but determined. Jordan built a business that continues to expand. With a micro-grant she expanded her small produce business.
Age: 23
Originally From: Mbenyi Village (Internally Displaced)
Grant Amount: $145
Use of Funds: Inventory expansion (dry corn & grapes), transportation
Jordan is a single mother who was displaced from her home community and separated from her child’s father. Left to provide for herself and her child, she began selling grapes in small quantities to survive.
Despite her determination, she reached a critical ceiling; without additional capital, she could not scale her inventory or increase profitability.
AWE intervened with a $145 micro-grant, enabling her to:
Purchase larger quantities of grapes and dry corn
Cover transportation costs
Expand her inventory
Increase daily sales volume
📈 Results & Growth
Jordan’s business responded immediately to the capital injection. With increased inventory and consistent reinvestment, her sales volume steadily grew.
Today, she stands as one of AWE’s strongest success stories. Her business continues to expand, demonstrating the long-term impact of strategic micro-funding.
Measured Outcomes:
Sustainable income growth
Ongoing business reinvestment
Transition from subsistence selling to growth-stage enterprise
Financial stability strengthened
As her business stabilized and expanded, Jordan was able to reconnect with her child’s father. They reunited, married, and relocated to another region where he now supports and works alongside her in the business.
Jordan’s journey reflects more than economic recovery, it represents business scaling, family reunification, and long-term stability.
Her success exemplifies the multiplier effect of small, targeted investments.
