What started as a simple dream has turned a 45-year-old woman into a land owner and an established businesswoman.

Harriet Namayanja, a regular listener to CBS radio, was struggling to make ends meet as a poultry farmer when she heard on radio a discussion about a project to empower women through savings and loan associations (PEWOSA).

She picked interest to venture into cottage industries and has never looked back. “When I started the business I only used my children as workers because I didn't have money to pay workers,” she explains.
