TRANSLATION:
I joined Slum Women’s Initiative for Development in 2003. I was elected Treasurer, we started saving and accessing loans to purchase land and construct houses.

I also acquired knowledge in land rights and I do help other women by referring them to the right offices where they seek justice in case their rights are violated.

Kagoda Mariam is a mother of six living in School Village, Walukuba East, Jinja. She is one of the first beneficiaries of the houses in SWID. She obtained a 99 years – family land title. She is very happy because she got a water tank, since she no longer makes line which has saved her a lot of time.
