About The Project

$805 needed to purchase materials for his painting business
$240 contributed by Safari towards his project


With an initial investment Safari bought a paint sprayer. He also put money into his local SACCO (Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization). A project that used to take 5 days to complete, now takes him one day. He will also rent the sprayer so that this piece of equipment can earn him income in multiple ways. With more investments, and as his business grows, he will buy more painting equipment and create job opportunities for his local community.



Paying it Forward

Safari has been able to donate money to help those in need. As his business grows he will be able to employ members of his local community.

Backstory

Safari’s wife, Jenifar, works as a farmer where she grows and sells Irish potatoes and sorghum. She will also work for other farmers. They have two children, one is adopted and attends school the other is a toddler. His family faces the common infrastructure challenges typical of a Ugandan rural community of no electricity, running water and poor roads. Safari says that this project has brought neighbors and friends together to discuss their businesses and help each other towards improving their lives. He has paid off debt and now is living proudly.
