Square Meals for Josephine’s Family

Feeding 9 children (3 orphaned) is a huge challenge for Josephine. She used to forage for firewood to sell, only to have it stolen by thugs. Now, with small business training through Village of Love, she is able to support them by selling small quantities of soap, sugar, mendazi and cabbage. She can now provide one good meal a day for her children. With a larger micro-loan she could increase her stock of items to sell and provide two good meals!

Bikes are Providing Livelihoods

10 enthusiastic young people in Kibera are being trained to fix and sell bikes. They had never dreamed that they might have the chance of meaningful work! The profits from this enterprise will benefit Village of Love.
