She began to grow and sell cassava and then used the profits to buy and rent out wheelbarrows to local workers, reinvested her profits in a canteen, and then used those profits as collateral to build the Lira Integrated Nursery, Primary and Secondary School now providing nursery, primary, secondary, vocational, and agricultural educations to over 1,500 students. 18 EMPRETEC ANNUAL REPORT 2014
