267 Women, 267 Stories of Change

By Muusa Bukenya | Project Leader

Together, we believe that when women are provided microloans, they don’t just build businesses—they transform lives.

This quarter of ther year, 267 women accessed microloans through your generocity. Many used the funds to launch small shops, invest in farming, or expand tailoring businesses. The results? Increased household income, food security, school fees paid on time—and growing confidence.

Meet Grace, a mother of four from Amuru, who used her loan to start a vegetable stall:

“Before this loan, I struggled to feed my children. Now I sell vegetables every day, and I’ve even saved enough to buy school supplies for my kids. I feel proud to be called a businesswoman.”Grace A., microloan beneficiary

Every woman like Grace represents resilience, potential, and the power of opportunity.

But we’re just getting started. There are many more women waiting for that same chance.

Support our microloan program and help us reach 500 more women this year.

Thank you so much
