Let's look back and celebrate the growth this year, thanks to our generous donors!

1. In 2016, we doubled our reach, thanks to the
generous support from donors like you.

2. We started the year with 50 stores
and ended with 98!

3. That means that 48 women like Rosa have been
able to earn an income by being the BOSS.

4. These women are investing their income back into
their stores

5. They are hiring neighbors to build walls around
their Mercado Fresco stores to keep them safe
and attract customers

6. With their new
income, they are
buying mattresses
for their families.

7. They are providing more consistent nutrition to
their children.

8. They are saving to install floors or toilets.

9. Rosa and some of the other Mercado Fresco
operators are earning up to $8.00/day,

10. which is double, or triple, what they were making
before becoming operators.

11. In 2016, we saw a 12% increase in sales per
store,

12. which can be attributed to an increase in high-
demand products at excellent margins.

13. Our stores now carry
114 products.

14. Now that our women are making more money, for
the first time ever, they have the option to save.

15. So this year we began a savings program, and
76% of our operators signed up!

16. Looking forward to
2017, we have over
500 applicants waiting
for the opportunity to
earn an income.

17. This year we will focus on scaling up to 250 total
Mercado Fresco stores in Managua,

18. and developing a new micro-franchise so we can
continue to create more opportunities in this city.

19. We will also begin planning for a launch of our
programs in neighboring countries like Guatemala
and El Salvador.

20. Supply Hope is just 5 years old.
Can you believe it?

21. Thank you for your continued support as we fight
to help all these families looking for a path out of
poverty.
