Josephine Atek

Josephine Atek is a 65-year-old vendor and farmer from the Bardege Division in Gulu District, who produces her own food and sometimes buys from the market.

 

She would like to widen the type of crops that she sells, but is limited by lack of funding. “I cannot afford to have a variety of what I am supposed to sell and grow,” she says. “If I can get more capital, I would like to add dodo (amaranth greens) and okra to what I am selling. I would then go back to the village and utilise the land there to grow more because here in town there is limited space.”
