Meet Annet

Annet, 33 years old, was referred to Abide by a local orphanage after she had sought to place her 6 children in their care until she could find a job and support them financially. Because of the potential the orphanage saw in Annet, they referred her to Abide to provide income generation support, formula and counseling. She was admitted into the program and went through our business training, graduated and started a small business. Currently she is selling second hand clothes. Her business is moving on well, she is able to save with a local saving group because this is taught in the business classes. Out of her profits, she has started farming and grows tomatoes for commercial purposes. By reinvesting her profits from the tomatoes into both her farming and clothing business, she was able to expand both of her operations. Annet was once living in a leaking house with one room but because of her business she has moved into a safe house and is currently paying school fees for her children, thus positively impacting the community.
