We are excited by the setting up of a Mini Company in Bajja amongst the women who did the craft work. They will meet once a week and in conjunction with Alice, one of the teachers, will supply crafts for sale in Ireland. the Christmas market is the target and team members and associates (volunteers please) will voluntarily man stalls in locations in Sligo and the west. All proceeds will be ploughed back into the community.
Seed funding has been donated to provide start up materials. Rachael in the Kampala fields of Life Office will liaise with Alice and with Averil and Yvonne in Sligo. Crafts were also bought in Uganda for sale in Ireland (again generosity enabled this to be done) - these were samples which could be used to test the market at home.
The photo shows discussions at Shalom Guest House with Rachel on the way through kampala to the airport. Contact was also made with a similar micro finance company in Bangor.
