Eight village savings groups from Morukakise Sub County in Kapir County in Ngora District on Saturday received a financial boost of Uganda Shillings eight million from the woman MP Ngora Stella Apolot Isodo.
The support is part of MP Isodo’s initiative through Apolot Stella Isodo Foundation – ASIF of transforming communities.
Isodo hopes that joining village savings groups is Uganda’s only last nail in eliminating Poverty.
She urged members of the public, including women to join saccos at village level through which they will be assisted by ASIF.
Isodo further called on men to empower their women in terms of finance where women can sustain themselves financially.
On the other hand she urged all leaders at all levels to embrace, support and mobilize the population to take advantage of the savings groups and various government programs to supplement their household’s income.
Beneficiaries in groups like Rose Atiang Ariet Village, Akiteng Magret Kamodokima, Florence Loy Isoto Puuna among others hailed the MP for the support noting that this will now help them in boosting their savings.
