Ivory Coast shop scrambles to fill egg orders
December 11th, 2009
Dr. Bernie and Kelly Bledsoe, CMF missionaries in Abengourou, Ivory Coast, West Africa, shared an amazing success story from the micro-enterprise program run by the HIV community and support group supervised by the CMF team there. The groups recently set up a store where they sell eggs, and business is booming. Currently, they are selling about 15 cartons of eggs per week, which is 6,300 eggs! “They set up their store in a great location and are having a hard time keeping their stock of eggs, which is a good problem to have,” wrote Dr. Bledsoe.
In January, the team plans to build on this success by offering further micro-enterprise training to help the churches’ CHE programs develop funding from within their communities, which will support their projects now and in the future.
