Meet Carolyn: Your Generosity Turned a $5 Loan into a Thriving Donut Business
Because of you, 23-year-old single mother Carolyn opened a successful donut and tea stall to gain economic independence.
Carolyn is just 23 years old, a single mother, living with her parents, and raising her young son. For a long time, she carried a heavy burden. She wanted to help her family and contribute, but didn’t know where to begin.
That’s when she joined Global Village Connect’s community development training. What she found there was more than knowledge; she found confidence and the practical skills to move forward.
Carolyn learned how to start small, manage money, and treat customers well. And she put those lessons into action immediately. With just a $5 loan from friends, she opened a tiny stall selling fresh donuts and tea.
Through her business, she has found both financial stability and a strong sense of purpose. Watch Carolyn share her inspiring journey in her own words above.
