About The Project

$880 needed to purchase more merchandise to sell in her shop
$190 contributed by Juliet towards her project


With initial an investment Juliet bought more merchandise (rice, salt, nuts, bananas, tomatoes) and she saw an increase in profits. She has seen how this extra income has benefited her family and is currently a means to pay for school tuitions. She is encouraged to learn more about business and has started a savings plan. Her business is helping local families by providing a variety of goods at a better price as she can buy in bulk and incorporate transport costs in her purchases.



Paying it Forward

She views her business as benefit to her community by providing a variety of goods at a fair price.

Backstory

Juliet lives with her husband, who works as a tailor. They have seven children living with them and four are in school. She realizes her income is very helpful in paying tuition fees, where they were once in debt. They live near relatives where families are able to help each other when in need. Nearby Kisoro is politically stable which promotes a good economic climate for her business. She hopes for road improvements and a domestic water infrastructure for all the nearby villages. She is active in her local community and hopes there will be a reforestation effort to help reduce soil erosion from all the trees that have been removed for agriculture practices.
