I lost my husband during rebel activites in northern Uganda.he was abucted and since then has never returned which gives an impression that he is dead.after two weeks of my husbands abduction,i and my children had to run to kampala looking for a safe place to be.in kampala i found other acholi people who come earlier and they advised me to get a house in the acholi quarter at 20,000/=. since then i have been in the quarter and have never gone back to Gulu.

Later i found out iam HIV/AIDS positive. i made several effort to get medication but it is very impossible because its so expensive.my children too dont go to school because of limited finances. the only source of income i have is from the paper beads i make. These ialways sell to people who have either got ready market or individuals who want to put them on.this always means low prices for me.for instance my monthly income from the beads is always 10,000/=.And most times am forced to get side income from causual work and i get 1000/= a day.this means my total income a month is 40,000/= .from tis i pay my rent fare and meet our basic needs.

If i could realy get a ready and direct market for my beads or get a job to support my paper bead sales I can be able to support my children to school, be able to buy drugs for myself and open up a savings account.
