Josephine Kizza has been able to build St. Jude’s Family Projects from a small family business to a big enterprise, which has
become a household model farm in Uganda, training farmers from all over Uganda and across the world.

Kizza training farmers

This dream, which started on barely four acres of land in Busense, Kabonera subcounty, 12km on the Masaka-Kyotera road in Masaka district, today sits on 18.7 acres of land.

She has built an agricultural college and caught the attention of everyone from local and international farmers to heads of state. She told Joshua Kato her story. The story can be accessed here at E-paper.
