Florence Musomba is one of the executive members of Balikyewunya group in Gayaza and has a decorating business that has been running for over 20 years. She also keeps pigs at home. She is a friendly lady and this has won her customers because of her free nature. She is able to make a weekly profit of about 50,000/= and this usually increases in some seasons like Easter and Christmas and on special occasions. Florence is a married mother of five children who are still in school and she cares for five grandchildren. Her main challenge is paying her children’s school fees. This is one reason Florence works so hard. She needs a new loan to buy more decorating materials like nets and veils and to buy two pigs for her farm.
