Jennifer a 24 year old refugee from South Sudan dropped out of formal education at the age of 11 when her father forced her into marriage. With no skills to initiate any income generating activity, Jenniffer was left to depend on relief supplies from NGOs.
In 2021, Jennifer enroled in oen of our integrated Functional Adult Literacy program in which she received entreprenuership skills. With the inspiration from the training, Jennifer sought to start poultry farming. Fortunately, Voice for Humanity Uganda received funding from Go Campaign in 2022 to support young mothers like Jennifer have access to farming tools. She was able to receive 5 start up poultry birds. With the knowledge on business management received during the Adult Learning sessions, Jennifer has managed to care for her poultry birds and today she has over 15 birds. 'My plan is to develop my poultry business with the business skills I received so that i can be able to earn atleast $5000 annualy from sale poultry which will enable me pay school fees of my children''. 'I am so happy for that training otherwise i would npot have been able to manage this poultry business today'.
Like Jennifer, many of the beneficiaries of our Functional Adult Literacy program had managed to initiate successful small scale business because of the entreprenuership skills that they received.
