Nabirye Jane
NAME: Jame Nabirye
AGE: 58
VILLAGE: Wairaki
OCCUPATION: peasant

Jane is a widow who lost her husband in 2004 due to HIV/AIDS. His death left her with five children, which is a big burden to her since all these children need basic needs and schooling too. Jane farms on a small piece of land which can only produce small amounts of crops for her and the family. But due to other needs and the family situation, she is forced to sell some of her crops in order to meet family needs. When our team of JILM visited Jane, she said that she wants to start some income-generating activity that can help her and the kids go back to school, but she has no capital and she would like for anyone who can sponsor her to come to her rescue.
