Many of the beneficiaries are optimistic that their small businesses will boom and support their family income.
Francis Okello Rwotlonyo, the Amolatar Resident District Commissioner confirmed that the SACCOs and Individuals who received the money are the real beneficiaries because his office has been closely following up on the project right from the beginning.
