Help Fransesca work in a healthier way
Fransesca is 62 years old and, like many older people in Nicaragua, she has no pension to rely on. To support herself, she continues to run a small business; selling products such as honey, cacao, coconut milk, and turmeric, all processed by her own hands. Each day she travels across the island, often on foot, carrying heavy boxes to sell her products. But as she gets older and struggles with back pain, this work is becoming increasingly difficult.
Fransesca's home is located in a great spot, right next to a popular beach destination visited by many tourists every day. Her dream is to sell her products from a small stall at her house, but she does not have the resources to build one herself. We hope to help her create a simple covered stand where she can safely display and sell her products close to home. This would allow her to continue earning an income in a healthier and more sustainable way. Will you help make this possible?
