Nassaka lays bricks for her children, fight poverty

Kabojja Village in Kyengera Town Council, Wakiso District, is home to Ms Noeline a single mother of seven, who ekes a living through bricklaying.

Bricklaying is a job that is predominantly for men in the area but Ms Nassaka, 37, a native of Kannabulemu, which is located on the Uganda-Tanzanian border in Kyotera District, beat all odds to fend for her family through the venture.

She was born to the late Joseph Muwawu, and the late Annet Nantongo, both of whom were buried in Kannabulemu.

“I am the eldest daughter among four siblings. Our father died in 1992 when I was six years old and she grew up with my mother, who also died in 2002,” Ms Nassaka says.
