Anai

Anai is a mother of five who has woven strength from struggle. Having fled the civil war in South Sudan in 2022, she arrived in Gulu Town with her children—now aged 8 to 25—and a deep commitment to rebuild. Over the past two years, she has poured her creativity and resilience into a table cloth business, crafting beautiful textiles that bring a sense of home and dignity to her community.

Anai’s work is in growing demand, but her vision is limited by the materials she can afford. She often cannot keep enough stock to meet the requests from her customers. This loan will provide the working capital she needs to purchase more fabric and supplies in larger quantities, allowing her to increase her production. With a well-stocked inventory, she can fulfill more orders, boost her sales, and secure a more stable future for her family.

Looking ahead, Anai dreams of becoming a major distributor of textile products to fellow refugees, transforming her small business into a source of supply and inspiration for her community. Your support will help this determined artisan weave a brighter future, stitch by colorful stitch, for her family and those around her.
