“From Roadside Vegetable Seller To Real Estate Entrepreneur” Grace Opens Up About Her Path To Success

Life has a way of challenging people, and sometimes the struggles we face seem never-ending. For many women in Uganda, earning a living through small ventures like selling vegetables is a daily reality. The money is often too little to cover rent, school fees, and food. This is the story of Grace from Mukono, Uganda, who lived that life for many years. She used to sit by the roadside with a basket of tomatoes, onions, and cabbages, hoping that by evening she would have sold enough to buy supper. Her dreams extended far beyond vegetables, but her circumstances made it hard to see a way forward.

Grace had always longed for more. She admired people who owned shops, land, and cars, yet believed such things were beyond her reach. She worked from sunrise to sunset, counting coins each evening that were never enough. Sometimes, she even borrowed from neighbors just to get by. One day, while sitting quietly in her stall, a friend she hadn’t seen in years stopped by. That friend looked transformed—well dressed, confident, and successful. Grace’s curiosity about what had changed in her friend’s life sparked a conversation that became the turning point in her own journey.TO READ MORE, TAP HERE
