About The Project

$900 needed to purchase a sheep and chickens for her farming business
$285 contributed by Aphia towards her project


With an initial investment Aphia bought a sheep and contributed to a local SACCO (Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization). She will use the manure from the sheep as an organic fertilizer to increase her potato production and kitchen garden vegetables. She has benefited from learning about other families projects. When her savings goal is reached she plans to buy another sheep and sees a way to generate income from raising more sheep. Having some extra money is a great improvement in her life.



Paying it Forward

She works with her neighbors and friends on various pathway projects to make the community better linked to homes and trading centers.

Backstory

Aphia is married with four children, two are attending school. Her husband, Bernard, works at the local sand mine. They live with her mother-in-law who helps care for the children. Her goals for her family are to improve their house with plaster, eat a varied diet, drink boiled water and sleep under mosquito netting. She understands that the Kisoro area needs better infrastructure, and she would like to see more environmental and conservation awareness from these communities.
