Frede is a long-time member of our women's group who make beaded craft products that we market in the United States. Over ten years ago, she chose her son Vincent, to be part of our child sponsorship program. Recently, Vincent graduated from the university with a degree in Human Resources.
In spite of this achievement of having a university graduate in her family, Frede and the family are still stuck in the slums of Jinja. Land is so expensive and so scarce within the Jinja urban area, that there is no way Frede can escape from the slums without someone to help her.
She has been saving some of her bead earnings as well as other earnings from her business since late 2012 so that she can use the money as a down payment on a home as part of our women's home ownership program.
Your support and generosity continues to help women like Freda be able to achieve their dream of having their own special home and moving out of the slums forever. We hope to start building the first phase of homes later this year. In the meantime, we continue to work diligently on road access to the property as well as seeking the best source of power for the homes to be built.
