About The Project

$860 needed to purchase to weaving materials and buy sheep
$140 contributed by Jeninah towards her project

There are multiple pieces to Jeninah’s long range plan. She wants to improve her weaving skills and sell more mats as she continues to cultivate and sell potatoes. Initial investments will enable her buy more mat weaving materials and to help start her sheep business. The manure from the sheep will used as an organic fertilizer to increase her potato yields. Therefore, with the additional income from weaving and potatoes, she can grow her herd and focus on raising sheep. The impact of her sheep is twofold; she will be helping her community by offering locally sourced manure and animals for sale and she will be increasing her income from these sales.



Paying it Forward

Jeninah realizes the positive impact of providing local manure and animals for sale to her community.

Backstory

Jeninah and her family live in Nyagakenke  Village, in the agricultural Kisoro District. She is a single mother living with 3 adult children and 2 children in school. Her oldest son works outside the family farm. As the multiple steams of income develop the family should have the workforce to not have to hire outside labor. Additional income will go towards the family goals of building a larger home and eating a balanced diet.
