Caroline
received a $498 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now empowered after purchasing my sewing machine and some linen. In addition, I will be able to make school uniforms for my children as well as earn income for myself once I open my tailoring shop. I will no longer depend on my husband for every need of the family. Similarly, I will help him in raising our family when the business is established."

"The main challenge here is how to raise money to pay my children school fees and pay their hospital bill just in case they are sick.
I considered money to be a major challenge because this is the only way I will be able to do what I have mentioned earlier without money, I will not do anything about that. In addition to that, it is very difficult to raise money here. The fufu I most time depend on to raise money doesn't have good price these day."
