Juliet's Chickens

Juliet Nampala is one of DCM’s social workers stationed at Divine Hope Joggo. She is one among the many that have benefited from Divine Investment Fund. A microloan project that was set in place by the leaders and partners of DCM to support the staff of Divine Care Ministries amidst the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.

Nampala had always wanted to grow her poultry business which she had started with her savings. So when she heard of the Divine Investment Fund, she saw it as an opportunity and a blessing from the Lord. She requested for money to invest in her project and gladly the money was granted to her. With a million Ugandan shillings ($270 USD), Juliet increased the size of her poultry project from 150 birds to 250 broiler hens. She used the rest of the money to feed and vaccinate the birds.

In a period of two months, Juliet had already sold off all the hens., returned the money with interest and was still able to make huge profits off of her project. Now Juliet’s poultry project has grown to 350 hens with a target to hit 1,000 hens before the end of the year.

Juliet testifies that support from the Divine Investment Fund stabilized her project and because of that, she is able to get income without depending on salary since schools have been closed for a while. “Now, I easily support my siblings and my mother. I am also able to buy clothes and household items without waiting for my monthly salary.”

We are so grateful for all those who generously contributed to making this fund become a reality! Together we make a difference!
