My name is Vasanta. I’m 45 years old and live in a small village in Southern India with my husband and 4 children.

My dream is to continue to grow my business so that I can support my family and provide them with a better quality of life.

I started my own business selling spices because I noticed they are easy to make and sell. I used my £180 micro- loan from WildHearts to buy spices in bulk from a wholesale market, enabling me to buy more at a reduced cost and grow my business. My hope for the future is to improve the packaging for my spices so that I can then start to sell them at wholesale markets and increase my profit.
