Entrepreneur: Edirisa Kigozi
Location: Kireka, Uganda

Edirisa Kigozi has various businesses that he transacts with the help of his daughter who is also a client of Pearl Microfinance. He is a dealer in hides and skins from Uganda Meat Packers, a property broker buying and selling land and houses, but above all, he has a welding workshop at Kireka near his home where he makes metallic doors, windows, and gates. All his businesses are doing well. In the workshop, he employs men to do the welding and because it is located on the high way, customers are able to contract him to make metallic doors, windows and gates for their houses, schools and factories and would pick after completing payment once they are ready. It is a good business that brings in a reasonable income just like all his other businesses. The loans are a big support to his businesses and he is grateful to you all.
