New Year, New Loans.
Here is who we have helped via Kiva ..
Rebecca's story
Rebecca is widowed with 4 children, 3 are still in school. She earns a living by collecting money from her rentals and she is also a service person in the Ugandan Army.
She is borrowing 1,500,000 UGX from UGAFODE Microfinance to buy construction materials from the city in order to renovate her rentals because she wants to increase on the incomes from them.
She is very hard-working and has been solely educating all her children for almost 10 years when her husband died and the relatives were not willing to help her out.
She is working tirelessly towards the attainment of her dream of seeing that all the children graduate. Thank you for enabling her journey to achieve her dream.
