Profile:

Martha grew up watching her mother process cassava by hand, a labor-intensive process that yielded little profit. With a vision to ease this burden, she acquired a small processing machine and started a plant that now processes tons of cassava weekly. Martha also mentors young women, encouraging them to pursue entrepreneurship.
