Jane returned to her home village of Buvunya to look often her aging mother after
a series of unfortunate events.
Her small business selling ladies garments in Kampala failed and Livingston - her
brother - was shot during the war in 1985.
Jane tried for a long time to get pregnant with her husband and finally succeeded
after a number of years.
It was not the blessing she expected to be.
When she was five months pregnant, her husband kicked her out with just the clothes
she was wearing and promptly invited his girlfriend in.
Her mother has a serious heart condition. Consultations at the hospital and
medication costs her between ush60,000 ($US30.23) and ush65,000 ($US32.75)a month.
All of her income comes from a small brick making business she owns. She pays
local men ush3,000 ($US1.51) to make the mud bricks and sell them for ush80 ($US0.04)
each.
She hopes that you will buy her crafts because it will make her a proud Ugandan
again.
