Although Joska was unable to complete her studies due to her pregnancy, she later enrolled in a vocational school where she learned tailoring skills. She worked as a tailor to support her two children, but the income was unpredictable so she sought out the KK Uganda program. Now working as a KK Uganda tailor, she is confidant that she will receive her weekly income and she has also been able to buy a plot of land and turkeys, creating more financial stability.

INTERESTS & HOBBIES 
“During my free time, I like working in my garden and making clothes to sell.”

LOVE DEFINED

Thank you for your hard work crocheting the panda hat for kids. I purchased one for my neice, Lucy, who was born this year. She'll wear it when visiting her grandma's house which is north of where I live. It's much colder there, so she will put it to good use. I pray that God will continue to provide a living for you through such good use of your talents.

Thank you Joska, for my beautifully made hat. I look forward to wearing it, and sharing your story. I purchased my hat through a campaign that also helped a child with special needs. Fitting true to the way you have defined love, your love and hard-work allowed for a young child's life to be changed in the process. No dream is too small, God has great things planned for you! I wish you the best, and pray good things come your way.
