Shadi from Jerusalem – Taste

I’ve taken the leap to start my own business in East Jerusalem’s busiest mall, offering crispy fries, flavorful wings, and refreshing treats. This loan will help me grow and bring great food to my community.

Micro lending, Macro Impact

Starting a new business comes with challenges, especially in the first few months. Rent, equipment, quality ingredients, and marketing are all essential—but so is creating a welcoming space. This loan will help me stabilize, renovate my stand, attract customers, and establish my place in the local food scene.

My business - My spark

I run a fast-food stand in Baladi Mall, the heart of East Jerusalem’s commercial district. I specialize in crispy fries, chicken wings, and American-style ice cream—serving great flavors, fresh ingredients, and warm service.

I’m Shadi, 35, a husband, father of two, and a passionate food lover. After years of working in restaurants, I’m finally running my own business. This is my chance to grow, build something of my own, and do what I love.
