Kitaka Erick is the leader of his group in Mityana. He is a very hardworking man and married with eight children. He also cares for three other dependants. Erick sells the produce that he grows, specifically matooke, maize, beans, cassava and sweet potatoes. He sells his products as both a wholesaler and retailer. He also buys from other farmers to increase the quantity that he can sell; he figures that the more he has, the more he will sell.

On his plantations, he works hand-in-hand with his wife and his employees. They work together to produce high quality food products quickly. Erick would like to get another loan to help with his labor on the farm and buy more produce from other farmers.

Journal
 
Entrepreneur: Erick Kitaka's Group
Location: Mityana, Uganda

Kitaka Erick is a business man with a business of selling agricultural produce in Mityana. Erick is quick to say that it is inevitable for him to use loans since he has a lot of responsibilities and since this is his only business, he uses a lot of money from his business hence loans help to recapitalize hence more income. He hopes to be getting more loans through his lending group since they have enabled his children to attend school and they necessitate for one to work hard.
