Meet Doreen
Doreen's education ended in primary four when her parents separated. Her father was unable to pay school fees for her or her siblings. Unlike her father, Doreen’s industriousness has enabled her to provide for her eight children.
In addition to crafting our Lawot (Traveler) Collection of jewelry, Doreen has also completed vocational training in a knitting program and supplements her income from training others and occasionally making orders of sweaters for schools for their uniform requirement.
Doreen is also the best chapati maker in the Acholi Quarter, or at least in our opinion. She has established her business on the busy main thoroughfare of the Quarter where she prepares fresh chapati each morning.
