NAME: Chantal Uwimpuhwe

COUNTRY: Rwanda

BUSINESS: Grill and BBQ Corner Restaurant (restaurant)

Chantal, 38 years old, co-owns Grill and BBQ Corner Restaurant.

Chantal opened her restaurant’s doors after she and her husband combined their savings and approached the bank for a loan.

The restaurant’s 17 employees serve their customers with a worldly dining experience. The international cuisine includes Indian, Chinese and African selections. Lunch buffet is served Monday through Friday.

Chantal’s future goals include priding her restaurant with the best service in the entire country, to open more restaurants, as well as juice bars and potato corners in the city and in other districts. She also wants to open a health retreat center, where people can come to learn about nutrition.

Through her PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS training, Chantal hopes to improve upon her business plan, and to become more aware of what obstacles her business faces.
