‘Mama Carol’ is a food vendor based at Kyaliwajjala Market. She sells quick snacks and bites like Samosas and fried Cassava chips. These help to reck in some finances to offset her needs.
Since the Covid-19 countrywide lockdown last year, ‘Mama Carol’ had struggled to make ends meet. And because of the restrictions on movement, it was hard for her to commute from her home, which is10kms from her duty station. She also lost most of the capital she had saved because she had to fend for her family during the uncertain times. When the Lockdown was partially lifted, she returned to the market to try and salvage the situation, but her kiosk had been removed due to accumulated rent dues. She then sought work at a nearby restaurant as a cook. See more
