The challenges the women of Ghana face each day is a poignant reminder of Susan’s mother, Irene, who raised and educated 11 children in the Philippines, while painstakingly expanding her business from a flea market stall into a grocery, bakery and restaurant. It was the diligent application of micro-credit that helped finance and grow Irene’s businesses over time. The same credit borrowed from local lenders helped finance Irene’s children to immigrate to the United States. Susan dedicates her accomplishments in this project to the memory of her mother, Irene and to all the business women worldwide who persevere against all odds to build a life for their families. |
