Engaging women in businesses is a lucrative venture of alleviating poverty. They are taught business financial management and skills of operation.
Nabwire, a mother of five children, received a loan scheme of USD $50 and was able to buy a tailoring machine. She earns $3 daily as a result of sewing torn clothes to generate income for her family. Now she can pay school fees for her children, In addition, she currently participates in Phase two, the United Savings program, and is able to save USD $15 at every end of two weeks. She has gone from a sorry hopeless state, to where she now sees hope in the future. Her family now affords food and simple treatment.
She also offers her tailoring skills to others. Since she obtained the loan, she testifies that her life has tremendously changed. Soon she will be returning the loan after three month period with no interest for others to access.
Good Job Nabwire!
