At one point, Vicky was abducted and forced into marriage. Today, Vicky no longer fears for her own safety or the safety of her children as she now understands the power she has to dictate her life and succeed in her future endeavors. With the money that she earns as a crocheter for KK Uganda, Vicky is creating a happier life for herself and her family.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
“My dream is to save as much money as possible to buy oxen to help my cultivate crops. I also want to start up an income generating activity in order to supplement the money that I get from crocheting so as to enable myself to educate my children to the highest level.”
FAVORITE THING ABOUT NORTHERN UGANDA
“What I like about Northern Uganda is the prevailing peace that exists and the development initiatives that are currently ongoing in the region, they make me happy.”
WHAT MAKES CROCHETING ENJOYABLE
“It keeps me busy and it enables me to earn money for my life with my children.”
MESSAGE TO KK intl.
“I pray that the initiators of the programme should continue to support orphans and widows in Northern Uganda for as long as they are able to do so.”

Hello Vicky!
The flawless hat that you made for me will be treated with care because I can only imagine all the hard work you put into making something so complex and special. Crocheting is something that my mother tried teaching me and I could never get the hang of it so, you are much more talented than I ever could be.
