Help 23,000 Ugandan Grandmothers Care for Children

Provia is a 56 year old grandmother raising three of her grandchildren - Robin 12 years old, Doreen 9 years old and Faith 5 years old.  The children’s mother died after being sick for many years.  After her death, the father brought the children to Provia.  Their father leaves them at the grandmothers home and offers little to no support for them.  Provia is left with the responsibility of raising her grandchildren now.  Luckily, she has become an amazing saleswoman.

Provia’s has been part of BF Suma which sells various supplements and medications to the community.  Some of their products that Provia sells include cordyceps supplements which greatly helps patients with high blood pressure; pure broken capsules (for diabetic people and AIDS patients which helps in boosting their immune system); Micro two tablets (help to clean veins of older persons to increase body blood circulation) and anatic herbal soap (cures skin rashes and ring worms plus other food nutrients).  She sells her products from her home, at funerals, market places, churches and any other community gatherings. 

There is a large market for these products and Provia is able to make a good profit by selling them, so she is able to provide for her grandchildren.  Provia is thankful for the opportunity that has made her a business saleswoman of BF Suma products.  She says the revolving fund that your donations go towards has helped her open up more friendships and learn more business skills, thus saying that her “hope is back”.

Thank YOU for giving hope and opportunity to Provia and other grandmothers like her!
