About The Project

$885 needed to purchase a sewing machine and fabric
$265 contributed by Jotham towards his project


Jotham has 3 goals to help grow his business: 1) continue to buy quality materials and fabric; 2) buy an industrial sewing machine so he doesn’t have to rent one any longer; 3) create a larger space to work. Verbena’s main goal is to buy quality seed that will help produce larger yields. Your investment will go towards both their goals. Growing their businesses will give their family a better quality of life while both businesses will help support the local community by providing jobs.



Paying it Forward

Generally, the families of the Kisoro district will donate food, clothing or money to those in need when they are able. Jotham and Verena donate when they can. Their business currently provide employment for the community and, as their businesses grow, more labor will be needed.

Backstory

Jotham and Verena would like to improve the quality of life for their six children. Four of the children are in school and fees must be paid for their education. One of the challenges families in the Kisoro district face is finding safe drinking water. They have to boil the water to make it safe. They would like to build a larger home which would include an improved sanitation system.
