Age: 20

"Hi, I'm Neri Namukobwa, a 20-year-old widow with two children. After spending two years in the Chaka refugee camp and enduring the loss of loved ones in the merciless civil war in Congo, I made a conscious decision not to cling too much to the past. I pursued learning tailoring and successfully completed it. Now, the only challenge I face is affording a tailoring machine. Your support in providing this equipment would mean more than words can express, offering me the opportunity to stand on my own and completely change my life."
 
For those who are in need of the training, you can support them monthly or quarterly for the period of 6 month. 
 
The cost to run entire both programs is $2500. This covers 4 teachers' salary, a security guard, materials needed for 6 months for both programs, and an experienced skilled business person who offers guidance and mentorship to the mothers while in the program on how to run their own business. This mentor supports them another 6 month after their graduation to make sure they are making good decisions in their business or new job. This program has changed the lives of many widows and young girls making them independent and able to provide for their children.
