For the last two years Rosemary has struggled to provide for her family, often surviving on just one meal a day and only sending one child to school as she could not afford the fees. “Our lives were miserable, and we had no hope for the future”.
However, things began to change when in early 2019 she joined Kuyumayuma Women’s Savings Group which was set-up by local community-based organisation, Welfare Concern International in partnership with Play it Forward.
Creating Local Entrepreneurs
Group members are given training on saving methods, business skills and entrepreneurship which has helped the women to save regularly, borrow from their groups revolving fund and repay loans at an agreed interest rate.
