During the Kony war in northern Uganda,many single mothers migrated with their children to kampala and are now living in designated slum areas of Kampala. However they migrated with their skills of making beads from recycled paper which are picked from the bins of office premises and little is know about them and their good works.Through digital networking they can promote their products to get market.
