The following description was written by Moses Onyango, a volunteer with Village Enterprise Fund and partner representative for Kiva in Uganda:



Christine was given a grant of 100 US Dollars by Village Enterprise Fund.



Immediately she opened up an eating house for the people within the community, travellers and school children. Her Kiosk is strategically placed such that she is able to receive over 50 customers per day.



She started by cooking simple food like beans and also posho, millet bread, some rice and also selling drinks like tea and juice.



After attending the business training that was organized by Village Enterprise Fund, she improved on her menu by introducing meat, chicken, fish, milk tea, sodas etc.



This has earned her a good profit such that she is able to meet her home needs, buy scholastic materials for her school-going children and also medical attention.



Given a loan of 300 US dollars, she is planning to expand her business by buying Nice Utensils, plates, cutleries, enlarge the shelter, buy varieties of foodstuffs, improve hygiene of the place, contact more institutions to be fed in her food Kiosk.



She is capable of handling the loan and refunding it back.

It was quite amazing for Jessica to see her dream in reality when she visited this business today. We've managed to talk to this particular business leader and took some photos and video coverage that is going to be shown on the image part of the website today. Now I will let Jessica say hello as well. This is Jessica now... Hello from Tororo, Uganda! I am here with Moses in the local internet cafe, seenig where he faithfully types his updates to us.
