Name: Email:

Josephine Namala, a UWTF client, owns a small retail shop in the remote village of Lukonda in the Kayunga district. Before she began operating her Village Phone business, people in her community had to walk over three miles to make a phone call. In the evenings, large groups of people gather in front of her store with FM radios to listen to call-in radio shows. They use her Village Phone to call the radio stations and make their opinions heard nationally.

Sophia Nalujja has been a successful borrower from UWFT for many years and is currently on her fifth loan cycle. Married with seven children, she runs a small eating establishment in the village of Kiwangula in the Kayunga district and also sells fish. Before joining UWFT, she worked as a farmer earning approximately $27 per month. Through all of her business ventures, she now earns more than $38 weekly. To market her Village Phone business, she has posted signs in nearby villages and has visited local schools to inform them of the services she offers.

Justine Zikusoka operates a small retail shop in the village of Kigando in Kiboga district. She is currently in her 5th loan cycle and earns over 65% more than she earned before joining FINCA. She has used her loans to pay school fees for her children, feed her family and increase the working capital in her business. Since starting her Village Phone business in June, she has sold an average of over 30 minutes per day on her phone. Justine’s success with her Village Phone business has come from actively marketing her services in churches, schools, and through other FINCA clients.

Michiel Jonker
As a Certified Information Systems Auditor, Michiel assists businesses in a professional capacity by evaluating the threats to their businesses. He acquired the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques to minimize a business owner’s risk of business failure and to maximize his chances of high growth and success. He strongly believes that you CAN maximize your chances of business success, by implementing the business solution he has advocated for more than 12 years in your business plan and planning. Michiel has decided to share his experience with business owners by putting almost everything he knows in a business plan and survival guide (compiled in an e-book format) and written as a high growth SMB coaching course for SMB business owners, directors and managers - titled as the “Survival Kit for Small and Medium Businesses - Profit from your Business Risks!” According to Michiel, his goal was to add new techniques to a business owner’s business planning survival kit and instruct him or her in using these in the future - without any help from a consultant!

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
