“My name is Kasara Joska. I got training from World Aid. I started with 20 chickens, which I bought at 200,000 shillings.”
That was the beginning of a remarkable journey. With the knowledge gained from training, Kasara fattened her chickens and sold them at 40,000 shillings each, earning over 400,000 shillings. Instead of stopping there, she reinvested her profits to double her flock to 40 chickens, which brought in even greater returns.
Kasara’s discipline and vision pushed her beyond poultry farming. With her profits, she purchased an electric sewing machine from Gulu—the only one of its kind in her settlement camp, capable of both manual and electric operation. She later added a second machine, one specialized for intricate designs, and enrolled in a three‑month training course in sewing and design.
Armed with new skills, Kasara opened her own tailoring shop in Faluda. Today, she owns about 200 chickens, earns daily income from eggs and poultry sales, and runs a thriving tailoring business. Her success allows her to save consistently and pay school fees for her children, ensuring they have opportunities she once only dreamed of.
Kasara’s story is a powerful example of how training, savings, and reinvestment can transform lives. From 20 chickens to a flourishing business, she embodies resilience, innovation, and the determination to build a better future.
