These are personal accounts, in the words of the people who gave them. They are not independently verified results.
“KADYFA gave me a goat as an income generating activity, I now have five goats and managed sale four from the same goat I got from KADYFA. This goat boasted my income to a tune of shillings 2 million, am now able to pay school fees for my young sisters.”
Molly became head of her family at 16, after both her parents died of HIV/AIDS, and cared for six orphans. Before KADYFA gave her a goat, she earned UGX 3,000 a day loading and unloading sand at a quarry.
“I chose tailoring because I wanted to learn and get my own machine so that I can earn an income and support my grandmother. I gained a lot of skills from this training. Using the skills and the sewing machine KADYFA gave me, am earning three hundred thousand shillings a month and paying school fees for my young sister who is in primary seven.”
Scovia lost her father and mother to HIV/AIDS when she was 3 and was raised by her grandmother, who looks after ten orphans. She left school at 9. KADYFA told her about the apprenticeship skills on offer at its training centre, and she chose tailoring.
