Zaitun and her daughter Nizria bake pastries in their home in Banda Aceh, on Indonesia's Sumatra Island. The family lost their house and belongings in the 2004 tsunami. The government provided them with a new house. Church World Service, a member of the ACT Alliance, loaned the women in the neighborhood the money they needed to purchase new equipment and ingredients to restart their businesses. The women repaid their loans to a revolving fund that they jointly manage. Zaitun has used the profits from her pastry business to keep her four children in school. Nizria recently graduated from a local university with a degree in economics, but while she's looking for employment she assists her mother with the pastry making.
