Nancy Mabel is the committee&#039;s president. She makes a living selling snacks and pizzas. She also takes part in training courses in order to expand her knowledge and improve the quality of her products.

Nancy Mabel will use the loan to buy ingredients for her pizzeria such as flour, fat, eggs, yeast and cream. She also wants to cater for orders of sweet and savoury snacks and by doing so, expand her range and increase her income.
