They started in February 2011 and were given 40,000 [ugx, roughly $16] by Joshua after which each member would be required to contribute 600/= [roughly 25 cents] per week so as to develop the fund.

After three months, they started giving loans among themselves with little interest. They also borrow money anytime when a problem arises.

They also do some business example buying maize, beans, groundnuts, any many more, and later sell the produce said the (vice chair person).

• The lack of enough funds to facilitate them to acquire grinding mills which helps them in production process.
• Lack of enough capital to start up new opportunities and to improve on the existing ones.
• They lack capacity building in other words there is need for more sensitization.
• Lack of funds to facilitate them in agricultural activities.
• There is a lot of illiteracy in the community which is the leading cause of poverty and suffering.
• There is need for uniforms for easy identification in form of T-shirts.

We humbly request Joshua's friends to and if possible assist him to solve the above problems.
