About Me

I am a 39 years old single mother of two boys aged 17 and 7 years old.I am Having finished my high school diploma,i joined local polytechnic where i acquired tailoring skills.I have been paying bills for the last 18 years by tailoring but last year February i started buying cloth material from Uganda and distributing them to other tailors and also selling them directly to customers.This has improved my income as i both sell the material and also sew for them.I really enjoy doing my work and i have an advantage over my competitors because sewing is my hobby, i work at home and i also take care of my parenting duties without any problems plus the profits are not bad.
