Liat Nourishes the North
My name is Liat Cohen, and this loan will allow me to complete essential equipment for my food business, Mifgash Bahar, located in northern Israel.
My story
I am Liat Cohen, an independent food business owner and the founder of a restaurant Mifgash Bahar. I operate from Moshav Zarit, near the Lebanese border, where my work is closely connected to the people and daily life of the area. The business grew out of a real need and is rooted in simple, home-style food and personal service.
Micro lending, Macro Impact
This loan will allow me to complete the equipment needed to support the ongoing activity of the business. Having the right tools in place helps me continue operating in an organized and responsible way and strengthens my ability to respond to the needs of people who rely on the place.
My business - My spark
Mifgash Bahar is a food business established in 2015 and operating in Moshav Zarit, near the northern border. The place offers food in a home-style atmosphere and serves residents, soldiers, travelers, and workers in the area.
During the COVID period, the activity expanded to also include a small grocery, providing essential products alongside the food service. The business continues to grow based on the needs that arise from the area and the people who come through it.
