Uwimana Antoinette, a 33-year-old mother of five, fled conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018 and resettled in Uganda’s Kyaka II settlement. Like many refugees, she initially relied on food aid and cash transfers but struggled to meet her family’s needs. Seeking alternatives, she joined the Ushindi Savings Group, a refugee-led initiative formed in 2019 to promote self-reliance through savings and small loans.

In Kigando B LC1, Mulagi Sub-county, the Agali-Awamu Saving Group stands as a powerful example of how unity and discipline can transform lives. Founded in 2014 by 13 neighbors with a shared vision of financial stability, the group has grown to 30 members—men and women who meet weekly to save, borrow, and share resources. Operating on a simple model of regular savings and responsible borrowing, the group has achieved remarkable milestones, including pooling 30 million Uganda shillings last year, which was distributed among members to significantly boost their livelihoods. With guidance and training from World Vision, members learned financial management, record-keeping, and transparent practices that strengthened trust and cohesion.
