Groups of Ugandans in Nebbi involved in making soap and beads have acquired a showroom where they will exhibit and sell their products. The show room was a pledge made by the president through the district LCV chairperson, Robert Okum while closing a training workshop that was organized by donors where the participants were trained in making washing soap and jewelry.

We are told that the president is personally renting it for the members at a cost of 100,000/= per month. It is located on Kampala road next to the office of the Woman MP Betty Achayo.

The chairman says that the president was impressed by the donors for training the residents of Nebbi and promised to support them to succeed in their enterprises.

The treasurer of the beads-making group Doreen Nimungu says they were initially meeting under a tree but are now meeting in a secure and convenient place where they show case and sell their products.

“Many people are surprised seeing persons from Nebbi district producing nice products like beads for the larger East African market,” Nimungu, who is also a Councilor at Nebbi district says.
