The impossibility of working in Baniyas
“I started working in the confectionery industry three years ago, making cakes and various sweets. Sometimes I also decorated candles for special occasions.” 
Thus begins the story of Rose, a woman from Baniyas, mother of three children who makes sweets at home for a living.
However, these have been three difficult years for his work, especially because in Syria it is impossible to count on a continuous supply of electricity: electricity is available only a few hours a day , with all the complications that this entails for a business that instead needs it continuously to survive.
RestarT’s support
But Rose had no intention of giving up: “When I heard about the Restart program, I applied – she recalls – I needed an oven and a generator to provide electricity. Previously, my customers had to place orders three or four days in advance so they could be completed on time due to the lack of electricity.” . And he adds, with a hint of satisfaction: “Now I no longer have time problems and I process orders the same day they arrive.”
Thanks to RestarT, in fact, Rose received a new oven to dedicate exclusively to baking cakes and a generator. These two new pieces of equipment have made the woman’s small business her strong point: “I have become the most famous pastry chef in Baniyas”. In fact, her confectionery creations have also crossed the borders of Syria , reaching as far as Lebanon and Abu Dhabi.
New plans for the future in his Baniyas
Now that Rose can count on a bigger income than before, she has new ideas for the future. 
First of all, the opening of a real shop : “I could expand the production of sweets, make more and different ones, and it will be possible to find, in my shop, any type of delight: cakes, biscuits, donuts.
I also want to add small souvenirs such as decorated candles to the sale, so that I can offer the customer a complete service for every occasion.”
And reciprocity?
When she can, when she sees the right opportunity, Rose tries to support others: “There are people who bring me raw materials, eggs and flour, and ask me to make a cake for them. I make it without asking for any compensation .” . He thus reciprocates the help received from RestarT .
A dream come true thanks to RestarT
“My dream was for this project to become big and, thank God, thanks to RestarT , my dream has come true. Over time you will be surprised by the continuous development of my business.” Word of Rose.
