My name is Akwiri Miriam Stella, I am 23 years old, I have one child, I am a graduate of tailoring from Pader Girls Academy. I thank CCF for their sacrifice because I can now fend for my family easily, I encourage them to continue the good work of supporting mothers like us who are alone. I am happy because the money I will continue to save will support my children’s’ education because two are already in secondary school, this has lessened my worries, and I am encouraged to continue working hard. The skills I got like calculating profit, minimizing cost, importance of having alternative source of money coupled with support has improved my business because now I can save each week and my business has become stable. I was lucky that I was nominated and got the chance to join the vocational and business skills training.ĬCF’s intervention has really helped me a lot because although I had started my business already I was struggling. My luck came one day when at a community meeting I found that CCF were identifying wartime sexual violence survivors to assist. I use to struggle a lot to provide the basics, it was hard. This prompted me to get to my village with 4 children to feed, educate and look after single handedly. It did not work because the community I got married in begun to call my children names and things worsened when my husband started maltreating my children born from captivity. When I returned home, life was fairly ok until I got married. I thanked God because I was rescued alive with them both. The worst being abducted and forced into marriage with an LRA commander, which had me produce 2 children. Like any other person who passed through captivity at the hands of the LRA I also have a painful story to tell. My name is Aryemo Jackline I am 42 years old I come from Alim village.
