Nkoyoyo Harriet is the leader of her lending group in Lugazi. She is a married lady with 4 children, all in school, as she cares for orphans. She has a tailoring business that she has had for 15 years though on a small scale. Her main challenge is the competition from fellow workers and amidst all that, she is able to make 150,000/= worth of profits.



Harriet is a very friendly person and easy to talk to, yet very serious with what she does. She hopes to become a wholesaler of the clothes she makes and also build a residential house for her children. She is happy that together with her husband, she is able to educate her children using her profits. This time, she hopes to increase the capital in her business so that she will be able to make profit and put aside savings for caring for the children and business expansion.
