Thanks to the economic empowerment component in the Community Transformation project being implemented by the Diocese of Karonga with funding from Cross Catholic Outreach, Irene Zuze, a beneficiary from Mulyabweka village under T\/A Wasambo in Karonga district, no longer faces the struggle of merely surviving to support her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irene Zuze is the proud proprietor of a tuck shop that serves as a significant economic asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, she secured a loan of K40 thousand from her Village Savings and Loan group locally known as Bank Mukhonde group to establish her tuck shop business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, she maintains a backyard garden that provides her with nutritious food support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an interview, Zuze shared that she is now capable of meeting her children’s educational needs, such as books and uniforms, owing to the valuable knowledge gained through the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, she expressed deep appreciation to the Diocese for spearheading this initiative, as many individuals were previously unaware of how to initiate a business venture or the benefits of bank Mukhonde groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore Zuze said she is committed to educating others about the importance of such endeavors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
