Success Stories

Giselle - Haiti

Like Interweave participants throughout Haiti, Giselle of Leogane lost everything in the earthquake. With Interweave business training and mentoring, she’s created a thriving business – a store in the resettlement tent community where she and her neighbors now live.

Achameyelsh - Ethiopia

Desperate for money to feed her daughters, Achemeyelsh learned to grow delicious mushrooms, and Interweave taught her how to convert her product into sales to restaraunts. Income from her new business is growing rapidly.

Milton - Ecuador

Interweave coach Julio works on-site with Milton to set up records for his shoeshine and refreshment stand. Emilio was selling items, but had no idea which products were making money. Good records are now helping him increase profits.

Gerrold - Uganda

Gerrold slept in the streets and begged for food. Supportive neighbors invited him to join them in Interweave classes and continued to encourage him in setting up a small food store. Now he earns enough income to sustain himself.

Carla - El Salvador

Carla’s small bakery operation was barely breaking even. Interweave training combined with a micro loan helped her install an oven and increase income. Through its Sainttosaint.com website and ties with local micro-lenders, Interweave links entrepreneurs with small loans.
