Expanding access of Cooperative health Insurance

Dear friends,

The Association is now registered and members are happy with this achievement. The Association brings together a diverse group of members engaged in several activities ranging from art and craft, beekeepers, dairy farmers, market traders, small-scale vegetable growers and members who are just eager to learn new skills and belong in an organized group.

Lucy who also just joined the group is a mother of 4 and sell in the local Laliya market. "For me am happy that I can now get to meet with other people with the same ideas with me," she said. "I have been struggling in my business and I am hoping that through this group I can learn new skills that will enable me to do different things better," she added.

The Chairperson of the Association, Johnson, shared with the new group, how the partnership with Karin Community Initiatives Uganda, will help them build and increase their household incomes. He encouraged members to attend meetings and ensure that they participate in all activities that the Association has.

" I am really very happy to see that at last, our wish has come true. For a long time, we have been training in group management and formation with support from KCIU. I am encouraged that many members have continued to attend these meetings. I thank KCIU for their support," Johnson the Associations Chairperson narrated.

As an organization, we are pleased with this achievement, when the community is organized, it is easier to channel support to them. In the last week, we have trained some members in making energy-saving stoves. These stoves are made from local materials including clay. We hope that members can make these stoves and sell them and in addition incorporate these in their homes. 

This is a clear achievement in our mandate to transform communities and make them more self-reliant. We continue thanking you for this support. Please share our stories with your friends so that we can make this world a better place. 

Thank you friends
