Day 7: Contracts and Goodbye

This week went by way too fast and we are not ready to leave. We are heartbroken that today is our last day but also hopeful that we will return to follow-up with these women’s businesses and deepen the friendships we formed. The past few days Alan and Grace have been working on individual business contracts for the six women. These lay out the specific loan amounts and logistics for the system of the loan and repayment.

Day 6: Church and Grace

Another beautiful morning in Kampala. Avery and I made Grace eggs and veggies that she had brought home from the farm and then we headed to Watoto Church.

Joy filled Ammabel’s home as they shopped through the assortment of clothes, shoes and purses to pick out exactly what they wanted. All 30 … [Read more...]

The clinic we visited was in association with Alive Medical Services which holistically treats 12,000 HIV adults and children. This clinic was specifically for HIV children. Brian gave lessons on dental health … [Read more...]

Uganda Day Three – Eco-Coal, Pigs and Grace

Today we headed to Luwero to visit Grace's farm which we will be partnering with to support the IGNITE businesses.  This was a unique opportunity for the women as they are not usually able to travel outside of Kampala. They were inspired by the sustainable farming practices and encouraged to see a women managing a successful farm on  her own. From the piggery to the banana plantation to the free range chickens, we were blown away by the incredible work being done! It was very reassuring to … [Read more...]
