Quotes from Beneficiaries
I save money every 2 weeks with my group of 10 members. With the loan I took from the group I started a small business selling prod. After getting the first year’s savings I bought an oxen to expand my garden, the second year I bought 2 goats. This year, I am buying a solar panel so that we get lighting and support education for my children.

“My life was a daily survival game, straining every nerve to provide and educate my children. Then came the day I joined the business skills training. With just a small loan of $60, my world transformed. This became my gateway to participate in business, pay for my children’s school, and gather a community of sisters. Most importantly, it gave me something invaluable: Confidence.”

“Learning to write my name at the Functional Adult Literacy center in Amuru was a life-changing experience. The ability to sign my own name has given me a newfound sense of independence and self-worth. Literacy has also empowered me in my business. As a tomato and vegetable seller, I can now confidently handle my finances and feel more in control of my life.”
