Sarah Mugerwa is the chairperson of Twekembe Development group in Mukono. She is married with no child but takes care of her husband's children and 5 nieces, all in school. Her retail shop and milk selling business are doing well thanks to the loans that have helped her cope with paying school fees for her beneficiaries. She has also managed to buy a plot together with her husband, and they are planning to build a house on the same plot. She still has her plans of opening up a dairy shop in Nasuuti so that her income increases tremendously; but right now, she would like to buy more goods for her retail shop once she has access to a loan.

Entrepreneur: Twekembe Women's Group
Location: Mukono, Uganda

Sarah Mugerwa has used her loans to recapitalize her retail shop which has enabled her to raise savings for her other business and future development. She sells milk got from her cows and she has a diary shop where she buys more milk from other farmers and sells to many customers. She is grateful for her loans since she is even able to care for her parents in the village.
