It's like a private bake sale. Many Congolese women supplement the family income by making bread. Sometimes, they make and sell other products or services. That's a small business in a poor country.
In poverty situations, micro-credit are provided to women to start or improve their business endeavors. This extra income increases the family's standard of living. Funds are used to send children to school and to seek medical care.
