Rosemary Anania, 47, is a refugee from South Sudan living in the Imvepi refugee settlement in Uganda.
Rosemary is a member of the Trust Farmers Village Savings and Loan Association, a group supported by ForAfrika.
“My children and I came to Uganda in 2017. Having lost all our possessions, the future appeared bleak and we were hopeless. We could only thank God that we were alive,” she says, adding that they were taken into the refugee centre and managed to survive on food rations.
“In 2018, ForAfrika came and started with their kitchen gardening training. It piqued my interest and I soon joined a group of 30 others who were supported with farming inputs, such as watering cans, seeds and spades … and a very special savings box. This has helped us a lot in developing ourselves both by access to loans and improving our saving skills.”
