Cenayda Juárez Gómez received her improved oven in February of 2017 in her community of Tutumblita, Darío. In collaboration with Caritas, a local nonprofit, EOS installed and provided business training for 20 women in the department of Dario. This particular oven benefits two different families who work together to run a bakery business. Cenayda mentioned that she is excited to have a source of employment for her household.

Josefa Caballero lives in La Trinidad, Estelí and explains to EOS how she started with an improved oven six years ago and had little experience on the production and sale of bread. Josefa enjoys the challenge of learning and growing her own business. Soon after installing her first oven, she needed a second oven and had to hire several employees to keep up with the baking. Today, she and her family feel very blessed, as this technology has come to change her life and that of other people who work with her. After six years, Josefa is a successful businesswoman who produces and distributes large quantities of bread in different areas of the country. She is also a faithful collaborator of EOS, helping to train and motivate groups of people who are beneficiaries of the entrepreneurship program.
