Meet Alice. For three years, Alice, 28, made bracelets for Invisible Children. During that time, she managed to save 800,000 shillings [$400 US] to pay for the construction of a new house for her and her husband. In this picture, the couple proudly shows off the fruit of Alice’s labor. Now, Alice is a member of our Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA) initiative, a micro-finance project that helps 400 northern Ugandans save and loan money.
One of the things I love most about my job with IC is that it so often allows me to meet people like Alice, people with inspirational stories that put me in my place and keep me focused.
