What it takes to be an Entrepreneur
I’m going to let this speak for itself:
Frista updte - Uganda
Frista talked exitedly to me about her brewing process. She is now able to sell over six jerry cans full of her home made brew each week. The loans have enabled her to buy a sugar cane plantation and repair her grinding machine. This has improved the flavour and the efficiency of her beer and she has increased her sales as a result. She sells each jerry can of beer for US$18. She thoroughly enjoys her work and the fact that her customers are always happy (and drunk!). The process of making the beer from sourgum takes about a week and she enthusiastically mimed to me the entire process.
She has recently has to pay the last furneral rite of her late father and now she is able to use all the loans for her business. The business is able to support her and her eight children.
