She runs a restaurant in Nakivale Refugee Settlement

I was funded by UGAFODE to construct a restaurant after taking over my mother’s makeshift structure when she relocated to the USA in 2015.

I started with a loan of UGX 15m, after repaying it, I got another of UGX 15m and then UGX 20m. I invested all the money in building and furnishing my restaurant.

I have been able to pay back the loans with proceeds from the business and support from family members.

After expanding the business, the number of customers I serve every day increased and I was able to provide employment to four people. In addition, I am able to comfortably provide for my family of seven (husband and five children).
