Rachael is a 29-year-old single mother who always dreamed of starting her own business. But without financial knowledge or capital, that dream seemed impossible - until she joined U-TOUCH's Women Empowerment Program.
Learning to Manage Money
The financial literacy component of the program was a revelation for Rachael. She learned how to budget, save, and plan for the future. For the first time in her life, she understood how to make her money work for her.
Starting Her Business
With the skills she gained from the program and a small loan from her savings group, Rachael started a small grocery stall in her community. What began as a few items on a table has grown into a thriving shop that serves dozens of customers daily.
Today, Rachael is financially independent and able to provide for her two children. She has even started saving for their future education - something she never thought possible before.
Paying It Forward
"I want other women to experience what I experienced," Rachael says. "The confidence that comes from knowing you can take care of yourself and your family - it's priceless."
