Home Savoring Success – Ulfa

Customer Name : Mrs. Ulfa
Branch : Medan, North Sumatra
Bussiness : Lontong Maker

Lontong, a rice cake wrapped in a banana leaf and compressed into a cylindrical shape. Is widely consumed in Indonesia. Making it is a delicate and tedious process. However, high demand for quality lontong makes for a promising home business.

Earning a postgraduate degree was a lifelong dream of Ulfa’s husband. To do so meant quitting his job and leaving his family without a breadwinner which they cloud ill afford. Ulfa made a courageous move. She obtained a loan from LOLC Ventura Indonesia to start a lontong-making business and became the sole breadwinner of her family.

Today, her small home-based business is thriving and providing her family with a steady income.

I started this business with the intention of closing it after my husband completed his Master’s degree and returned to his former job. However, after LOLC Ventura Indonesia began funding my business, I changed my mind. Business is growing fast, and I see a good future.
