Sabor Amigo is a family-run food ingredient company that produces seasonings, spices, batters and condiments for customers including supermarkets and restaurants.  In business for two decades, Andrea identified an opportunity to increase sales, while providing income to at-risk women. 

Part cooking school, part micro-entrepreneur incubator, Andrea trains local women on how to cook popular foods, such as sausage, by using the Sabor Amigo spices.  Once trained, the women are able to prepare and sell a host of delicious quick-service foods right from their homes, generating a supplemental source of income for their families.  Now over half of Andrea's customer base are women micro-entrepreneurs whom Sabor Amigo  helped launch.  That's good business that's good for women. 

Karina is the founder of a nine-outlet, healthy fast-casual chain of self-serve salads, frozen yogurt and other natural foods.  Helping Guatemalans make healthier food choices is only part of the Myogurt Mylife story.  Karina has built her business from its inception with the goal of offering opportunity to at-risk women.

Because indigenous women are often disenfranchised from much of the Guatemalan economy, Karina recruits, trains and employs a staff of them to operate and run the Myogurt Mylife locations.  Some of her employees travel several hours a day for their work shift, but the sacrifice is well worth it.  With their regular earnings, they are able to meet their household expenses, as well as invest in their family's future.  One of Karina's employees supports three siblings with her Myogurt Mylife wages.
