Macrene, age 54, is the chairperson of Gwali Mutala Women’s Group in Kasanje. She is a farmer growing sweet potatoes and cassava on her family land; and at the same time she buys produce from other farmers, including bananas, Irish potatoes, tomatoes, and green pepper, which she takes to Kibuye farmers’ market every Wednesday for sale. She has been doing this with the help of her husband, who is also a farmer, for the past 20 years; and so far she is not regretting the path she took, especially with the loans she has been getting together with her members for 8 years now. Her dream is to buy a motorcycle to help her with the transportation of her produce from the villages, where she buys most of the produce. She is married with 8 children, the eldest being 35 years old and the youngest being 19. She also helps to look after 4 grandchildren who are still in school.

Entrepreneur: Gwali Mutala Women's Group
Location: Kasanje, Uganda

Macrene Nanono is a farmer and a farm produce buyer which she takes for sell to Kibuye farmers’ market. This is a business she has done with her husband for twenty solid years and the introduction of the loans was to boost her trade. With the loan, she has been able to buy in bulk from farmers as well as being able to employ labor on her farm for better yields. She usually buys what she is not able to produce hence having a variety for her produce stall in the market. The only challenge she has now is the transportation of her produce from the villages to the trading centre where the hired truck finds all the farmer’s produce and hopes to buy a motorcycle to sort this problem out. Some of her children are doing their own businesses while one helps her in her business.
