• Folora and her husband, Felix, are farmers growing Irish potatoes. They also run a retail market in their village. They would like to change their business model from retail to a wholesale market. Importantly, they will buy products in bulk, thus lowering their costs, and passing that savings onto the community.

About The Project

$550 needed to purchase store inventory and for rent for the market space
$120 contributed by Folora towards her project

With an initial investment Folora bought Irish potato seeds to increase their harvest and farming income. Some of the funds were saved so that they can buy insecticides for treatment of the crops. Future investments could go to adding milk cows to their farm or buying products for their market. Folora will carry products needed by her community so that they will be able to shop locally, avoid travel and buy products at a lower cost.



Paying it Forward

Folora wants to pay it forward by training family members how to start their own businesses. She also will be helping other families by providing market goods locally so that travel will not be necessary.

Backstory

Folora and Felix have four children, all in school. They live near family and work together toward making a better life. Folora believes that an improved infrastructure (roads, electricity, safe drinking water) will promote better trade and commerce in their rural community and the Kisoro district. The community works together to build local roads to improve the transport of their products to markets.
