families out of the loan from the group of Bed-gan HIV group, Sam says “ I am planning to build a
small house and start a shop by the next cycle of the VSLA” thanks you EARN, any donor now can
support you.
Challenges encountered;
EARN had 100 active existing youths and child mothers we only managed to support 40
youths the rest of the groups not supported are having open hands for support if possible.
The HIV group of Bed-IGen lost one member and Omito community also lost one
member because of lack of food, the groups had to sit down and come out with the
contribution toward the burial arrangements.
Steel looking for the market for bread and Shoes
We don’t have enough material for training and labor payment to our instructors.
Lesson learnt;
The other Child mothers ’s like District surrounded Lira are in need of extending the project to their
Area as it supports the Vulnerable Youths and child mothers in the Community to improve on their
household income.
There a number of people living with HIV willing to join groups as now they know they are not
alone and they can still have hope and can keep their family.
