​ASKEPOTT-HISTORIEN
Dette er historien om Askepott Juliet, den fattigste av dem alle i Kigungu. Hun gikk i søppelhaugene og lette etter mat til barna sine, hun bodde i et lite skur og hadde hverken mat eller klær til seg selv og barna.
Jeg bestemte meg for at jeg ville hjelpe henne til å få et bedre liv… permanent. Hva ville vell ikke gjøre situasjonen bedre enn å ha sitt eget sted uten husleie og med jord som kunne dyrkes?
Jeg startet den lange prosessen med land-kjøp. Først måtte jeg bli kjent med hele prosessen med hvordan en kjøper land i Uganda. Så måtte jeg finne ut av alle fellene…og dem er det mange av. Og det er nok av de historiene om folk som har kjøpt “luft”. Mange selger nemlig land som de ikke eier…ja, jeg ble også forsøkt lurt to ganger…
Jeg måtte også sette meg inn i hvordan vi kunne sette opp en kontrakt som var gyldig og som ikke tillot en ex-mann å komme tilbake og kreve å få overta eller være medeier i eiendommen. 
Det var en kronglete og lærerik vei, men til slutt fant vi et stort og flott stykke land med et lite 2-roms hus på, samt toalett.
Eiendommen ligger flott til med utsikt til Victoriasjøen og flyplassen. Det er en fruktbar eiendom med store trær med avocado, mango og jack-fruit.
Forrige helg drog jeg ned til Uganda og besokte dem. De flyttet inn i Januar, og siden den gang har Juliet dyrket mais og bonner, og hun har allerede hostet avocadoer som hun har solgt pa markedet.
De er alle sa utrolig glade for deres nye hus, deres nye eiendom, deres nye liv!

Tusen takk til Jorunn, Erling, Margrete, Vegar, Kristine, Anne-Kathrine, Ola, Kathrine, Siw, Hilde, Janicke, Camilla, Heidi Kraft og Inger Johanne som var med på å gjøre dette mulig!

​The Cinderella story
This is the story of Cinderella Juliet, the poorest of them all in Kigungu. Every day she had to search in garbage bins for food for her children, she lived in a small shed and had neither food nor clothes for herself or the children.
She told me that when she went to bed in the evening she wished she would not wake up to another day of struggling to get food for her children.
I thought, “I can do something”! I decided to help her get a better life ... permanently.
What could be better than owning your own land with your own house?
I started the long process of land purchase. First, I had to get to know the whole process of buying a land in Uganda. Then I had to figure out all the traps ... and there are many of them. I have heard plenty of stories about people who have bought "air". Many sell properties that they do not own ... And yes, twice I had to back out of deals because it was not real land.
I also had to find out how we could set up a contract that was valid and did not allow any ex-husband to come back and claim to take over or be co-owner of the property.
It was a bumpy road but I learned a lot and in the end we found a large and beautiful piece of land with a little house and outhouse.
The property is so beautiful with a view to Lake Victoria. It is a fertile property with large trees; avocado, mango and jack fruit.
Last week I went down to Uganda from South Sudan to visit them, and Juliet has been working a lot on the property. She has planted beans and corn plants. She has already harvested avocados and sold at the marked.
They are all so happy about their new house, their new life!!!
Many thanks to Jorunn, Erling, Margrete, Vegar, Kristine, Anne-Kathrine, Ola, Kathrine, Siw, Hilde, Janicke, Camilla, Heidi Kraft og Inger Johanne who helped to make this possible!
