Make your impact: Meet Florence from Uganda

This is Florence. She sells water in her neighborhood in Kampala, Uganda, where there is no access to tap water. When her husband started to lease-to-own his boda boda motorcycle with Tugende, she saw an opportunity to generate more income herself. She now leases-to-own two water tanks, one of 1.000 liters and one of 10.000 liters, and serves her whole neighborhood with clean potable water.
Selling more water, Florence can now pay the school fees for her children, learn to make handicraft materials to generate an extra income, and save for the future. Her next goal is to buy a piece of land in another area without access to water, build a house, and start serving the community with clean water there too.
By adding more income-generating products to their range, Tugende supports entrepreneurs in other sectors as well. This allows entrepreneurs to grow their business and build a better future for their families and communities.
