Update on Kagashe Tukwatanise Group
Kagashe Tukwatanise Group is located in the village of Katabushera, Bugangari Sub County, Rujumbura County, Rukungiri district. The group is comprised of only five men who are all married and generally depend on agriculture and simple trading for a livelihood.
Sam is the chairman of the group, standing at the extreme left and is a married man with four children who apparently are all school going. He basically deals in forestry and farming to support his family. He applied for a loan of UGX 2,000,000 (two million shillings) basically to get money and pay for labour to weed his tree plantation, because it’s from the trees that he gets money to pay for his children’s school fees. The entire group applied for a loan of UGX 10,000,000 (ten million shillings) and they are very thankful to UGAFODE for the financial support.
