My name is Jacqueline. I am 40 years old and live with my husband and our 5 children in Raymond Bel Air, Haiti.

Now I can cook all day and sell more to more customers

I sell cooked food on the beach to Haitian tourists who come from Jacmel or as far as Port Au Prince. I cook fish, rice, goat and chicken; grilled fish with rice is my most popular dish. I used my WildHearts micro-loan to buy frozen fish in bulk along with other ingredients such as rice. Now I can cook all day and sell more to more customers.

There is lots of competition on the beach but once people taste my food they always come back. My customers call me and say “We’re coming, get ready!”
