My name is Joe Williams. I have grown up and lived in Nailsea (Somerset, UK) for 19 years of my life and being able to see the impact that has been made across all of the team supporting at HFL over the years has been inspiring. Which is why, when an opportunity arose to visit the team in Katanga, stay with the fantastic family of Francis and Dorcus and get to witness the beautiful sights of Uganda, it had to happen!
Josephine has had sickle cell disease since childhood, and so struggles with occasional pain and is vulnerable to infections. Due to the low family income, her mother managed to pay for her school fees up to lower secondary level. Josephine dropped out of school after completing senior four.
With her exceptional skills attained in the training, Hope For Life Katanga provided Serenah with a new sewing machine with the purpose of empowering her to start self-employment. She currently designs and makes clothes for different clients, which enables her to earn more and enhance her skills as a fashion designer.
