Below is a story of Harriet Nabulya. Harriet is a 44year old single mother. She is a mother of two, a boy and a girl. Harriet was traveling from Masaka to Kampala and the bus she was in was involved in a very terrible accident, and her left hand was than broken and the doctors couldn't do much then to cut it off to avoid further complications. Harriet is now living as a disabled person and a single mother as well. Harriet said she had a man, but since her hand was cut off, she never saw that man upto date. Her 6year old daughter Shadia is the one who helps her in their Sumbuasa business and the house work. Harriet experienced rejection from the society. She said whenever she goes out to look for what to do, people just pity her but don't give her a job because she is disabled. Harriet said if Felfo can offer her the opportunity to have a stationary business like owning a shop where she can sell soft drinks, she will be grateful. She is a very courageous woman and she believes if supported she can do it to her very best. Recorded by Deng Phillip Aguto Felfo volunteer. Uganda .
