Jennifer witnessed a lot of atrocities during the war in Northern Uganda. Five of her cousins were abducted by rebels and her family was eventually forced out of their home and into government camps where they lived off of handouts from the World Food Program. As a beneficiary for KK Uganda, she is more self-reliant and is able to provide for her family like never before.

DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
“My plan is to build a house for my children. I want­­­­ them to have a quality education, something I did not have.”

FAVORITE THING ABOUT NORTHERN UGANDA
“The most beautiful thing about Northern Uganda is that the water is clean and, compared to other regions of the country, and there is a variety of food.”

MESSAGE TO KK intl.
“I am so grateful for the support and love that is being provided to me. Please continue with the spirit of support towards me and my family.”

Dear Piloya,

I just bought a bracelet that you made and I am absolutely honored and ecstatic that my money is going towards you and your family. You are beautiful and this bracelet is beautiful. I bought a bracelet from you and another boy from Peru named Bert. I am so excited to pray for both of you and I know that God will bless all of us with his grace. Hope all is going well and will continue to go well!

Dear Jennifer,

I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful headband you have created for my little sister. She is only 7 years old, but refuses to take your creation off her little head! She struts around the house with it like it is her tiara and she is the princess. I appreciate what you do very very much. I hope all is going well in Uganda! Thanks for everything.

Much love,
Amanda

A friend of mine received your hat from his wife for Christmas. I was there when he opened it. He loved it and kept it on his head. He thought it was so cool to see an actual name and signature on a tag in the hat. I wrote down the name so that I could write you myself. I just wanted to tell you that you did a beautiful job and to keep up the good work. I especially want you to know that I am praying for you. Merry Belated Christmas and take care. Aloha (from Hawai`i/USA), Kendra

Jennifer,
I wanted to thank you for making my hat. I love to wear it. All of my friends love it too. They ask me where I got it from and I tell them about this amazing company that helps women in other countries make a living. I tell them that each product has the name of the amazing woman that made the item. They all think that it is an amazing concept, that there is a company like this one.
I love my hat and this company, I am looking to buy more items, I just can't decide what I want. haha
You and the other woman that work with this company are truly amazing.
Thank you again! <3
