Success Story: Monica, Mothers Yes We Can

At 36 years old, Monica is both a devoted mother of six and also a proud and active member of the Mothers Yes We Can Chicken Farm in Namatumba, Uganda. Since joining the project, her life has taken a positive turn, giving her financial stability and hope for her children’s future.

In December, Monica received her share of the farm’s dividends and immediately put it to good use—paying school fees for her child in secondary school. For her, this was a major relief.

“Before joining the group, I always worried about how I would afford school fees. Now, I know my son’s education is secure, and I can focus on providing for my other children,” Monica shares with a smile.

​The collective business has given her not only a steady income from the farm but  economic empowerment. She hopes more women have this opportunity.
