As a single mother in Northern Uganda, Angee Florence had little hope for the future of herself and her children. Now, however, Florence is earning a respectable income as a beneficiary of KK Uganda and is using the money to build a better life for her family.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
“My future dream is to buy a plot of land and build a house for me and my children.”
WHAT MAKES CROCHETING ENJOYABLE
“Crocheting helps to keep me busy and also enables me to earn income. It also enables me to make friends with others because many people sit together to do the work.”
MESSAGE TO KK intl.
“I thank KK intl. for the support that I am getting and ask God to bless them all so that they are able to help more needy people.”

Thank you for the lovely hat! It is very cold right now in Michigan, so I will wear it a lot. I served in the United States Army, and when I went to Iraq, I served with many men from Uganda. I learned some Swahili as well, such as- asanti! My friend James Nkologi says I should come visit Uganda, because it is very lovely!

Thank you very much for making my hat. I had been looking around for the last while for the perfect fitting hat and was lucky enough to find the one you made (dark and light grey striped slouchy). I would love to have your talent. This hat will keep me warm as the Canadian winters can be very cold. Also, it's very stylish so I even like wearing it when it's not cold.
God bless you and your family and I hope you are able to buy a plot of land soon.
Kindest regards,
Kimberley Payne
