Highlights from Uganda

Mr. Kisubika is a father of eight children and is a member of Kiddawalime Development Association (KDA). This year, he received a grant to plant banana trees. Prior to attending literacy and small business classes, he often struggled to earn an income and provide for his family. Today, he has grown several banana trees and now has a regular income from the sale of bananas and banana tissues. He has also contributed toward creating a seed fund to provide small loans for other families and KDA participants. Mr. Kisubika said, “I often had fights at home with my wife as a result of not providing enough income to take our children to school, but today with the income from our Matooke banana garden all those bad days are no more.”
