Muyimbwa Eddylee alias Bisawo bya Ssente,a stalwart NRM supporter from Kasangati has taken President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s clarion call of combating poverty to another level by arranging a business and trade expo for Small scale and Medium Enterprises.

The expo occurred today (23/02/2024) from R and B Gardens Kasangati and was under the theme of Strengthening the Potentially of Saving and Investment in Small and Medium Businesses to Boost Household Growth.

This expo made history because it had over 200 Kasangati based exhibitors and was graced with over 1000 people who came from different parts of the country.

WHAT SOME OF THE EXHIBITORS SHOWCASED

They also make crafts, belts and key holders and shoes for school going children come with a year one year guarantee

This company is located in Gazaya near Hormisdallen Primary School.

Natukunda Lina: Is also a crafter who makes all kinds of traditional baskets.

These are weaved from natural raw materials such as sweet grass, sisal fibers, banana leaves or raffia

Lina added value on her traditional baskets by making them water proof.

This is done by wrapping the sweet grass or sisal fibers or raffia with a polythene sack threads which prevents water from penetrating.

Lina’s usage of polythene sacks when weaving baskets is an indicator that she directly joined the fight of Environmental Protection and Preservation because one polythene bag takes 10-20 years to decompose

Lina weaves her baskets from her home in Bulamu,Gayaza.
