Mother's Vegetable Stand Project is now FULLY Funded!!

Latavia's mother, Jalia, asked for the opportunity to work to support her family.  She researched work options and proposed a plan to build and run a roadside fruit and vegetable stand.  These types of small businesses are very common in Uganda, and as Latavia's family lives near a large main road, we are excited to be able to help support Jalia in her desire to work.  

Thank you to all of the donors who have made this possible!!
