Ben Kiwanuka is the leader of Balibaseka group in Mityana. He is a very hard-working man and a farmer with a business of buying and selling produce from Mityana town, sometimes to Kampala. He has been selling his produce, which ranges from maize and beans to coffee, for three years. His main challenge is transportation. Sometimes he uses bicycles or motorcycles, but he would like to buy a car so that he can load more kilograms of produce at once. Ben is married with twelve children, with three not yet in school, and he hopes that he will be able to educate all his children to the very end. He needs a loan in order to buy more produce to sell.
