JDF SUCCESS STORIES!

Mrs Prisca Mbakwe (Umuokirika – Ahiazzu-Mbaise LGA)

The very first time JDF staff visited her, Prisca was in tears as a result of suffering and hunger. Having an interest in the sale of fish, Prisca used her empowerment seed money to buy fish from Bayelsa, her state of origin, which she sells in her marital home in Imo State.  She is so successful that she now helps some of her friends whose husbands are still living, by giving them quantities of fish and crayfish on credit. Prisca’s philanthropy is evident in her extension of interest-free credit to her friends, who keep the profits from their sales and give her the capital. With her profits, Prisca has built herself a small kitchen and a small kiosk from which she sells provisions. Her success has also enabled her to take care of herself and her children.
