Impact Stories
Women’s Economic Empowerment – Market Women as Community Lifelines
Through the Moniba Foundation’s market women loan initiative, over 70% of participating women reported increased inventory levels and higher weekly profits within six months.
Satta, a market woman, previously earned approximately 800 Liberian Dollars in weekly profit, limiting her ability to restock goods and support her household. After receiving support through the Foundation, she expanded her inventory, tripled her weekly profit, and hired two assistants. Her business growth improved household stability and created local employment.
This experience reinforced a key lesson: supporting women entrepreneurs strengthens entire communities.
Youth Enterprise Growth – From Informality to Scale
Mohammed, a youth entrepreneur in Red Light, used Foundation support to establish a small printing business. Initially producing 20–25 shirts per cycle, he reinvested in materials and equipment after receiving a grant. Over time, his production increased to over 100 shirts per cycle, serving schools, youth groups, and small businesses. Mohammed now aspires to open a full-service printing shop, transitioning toward formal business ownership and job creation.
Youth Livelihoods – Creating Opportunity Where Jobs Do Not Exist
Dortudee, a 22-year-old high school graduate living in ELWA, faced unemployment after graduation and assisted her mother with small-scale sales outside their home. Through the Moniba Foundation, she received support to purchase a refrigerator, enabling her to sell cold water and drinks within her community. This investment created a reliable income stream and shifted her outlook from survival to growth. Dortudee now envisions owning a water production factory in the future.
These stories demonstrate how targeted capital combined with follow-up support enables youth and women to generate income, create jobs, and plan for long-term enterprise growth.
