About The Project

$900 needed to purchase to buy more pigs and add inventory for her shop
$245 contributed by Felicity towards her project


Your investment can help Felicity rent a space along the main road to her village. A more visible marketplace should help her business grow. With additional income she will be able to expand her crop production.



Paying it Forward

Felicity helps support the local community by providing jobs to help her with her farming chores.  

Backstory

Felicity and her husband have four children. She is the main farmer in the family. Her husband helps with the farming business and also earns a salary as a community tour guide and driver. Education of their children is a primary goal for her family. Therefore, additional income for school fees is very important as they have two more children starting school in the near future. Additional income will also go towards saving to build a larger home. This community is close to the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. One of the challenges farmers face in this area is crop destruction by wild animals from the national park.
