My Story
Quick update - I ate at Ibu Sulasmi's stall yesterday in Jakarta (yums)!
It may be small, but seems like the neighboruhood hangout.
I've taken a few new photos. Loved her sassy t-shirt!
Ibu Sulasmi is every bit the strong, quiet, shy but independent woman that gets on with things. There was an old picture of her on the wall, she said it was taken when her husband died 35 years ago. She looked stunning. She brought up 2 kids on her own, and now earning to look after her elderly parents too.
I hope more of my friends/family will support this loan. Thank you!

Hi there!
I admire strong, independent women like Ibu Sulasmi. Just doing what she can to provide for herself, her family and her aging parents. And doing it proudly. Her full story is on this link https://www.simplygiving.com/Loan/sulasmi.
I can't wait to visit her warung (food stall) in my next trip to Jakarta and try her cooking!
This is a short term loan, will be repaid by April 2017. So, please do join me in supporting this project.
The loan is administered by Surya Kencana, an MFI in Jakarta. I have met the team there many times, and they are good people. Respectful of their clients and passionate about helping them succeed.
