RAISED FROM ASHES THROUGH THE JOINT INITIATIVE

My name is Mr. Ashiali. My wife is a member of Jipange Women Group in Bukura, Butere Mumias. The group has lasted for the last 3 years and has over 30 members. The women have stabilised themselves through joint efforts through which they have projects for income generation. Some of these activities include sugarcane planting, businesses and poultry keeping.
 They also raise funds to lend to their members so as to enable them to develop themselves. My wife was given Ksh, 50,000 in 2010 which she used to start a mitumba business. She also  has been selling eggs. From this business we have benefitted a great deal as a family. We get our daily food and other needs from it. We also have been helped by this Group to build a house out of funds they provided for us.
