The campaign starts

We started off the family loan scheme this month by supporting two families with small agricultural loans. They have land but getting seeds to cultivate was a big challenge. They are the families of Adrine Mbabazi and Gerald Mugisha.

For us to be able to serve the families meaningfully and create impact, we have estimated that we need to set aside atleast $600 for this fund. We presently are able to get $300 from our savings. We welcome any well wisher who may wish to contribute towards this special fund to contact us for details.

We caught up with Geralds grandmother at her garden. She used the money to buy bean seeds and planted them. Beans are the major sauce used here, with irish potatoes being the main food crop. When the harvest is good the beans can feed the family for a longer time and even sold at a relatively good price during the next planting season. Its rainy season here and the beans are quickly getting out of the ground. The sticks are put there because the special type of beans commonly known as climbing beans spread their shoots and climb on the sticks. We bring you some images...
