Fifty two youth and women groups in Teso North constituency in Busia County have benefited from 2.9 million shillings grant from Uwezo fund to help them expand their businesses and improve on their economic status.
The cheque was handed over to the groups by Teso North member of parliament Dr. Oku Kaunya in a colorful ceremony held at Amagoro and attended by Teso North Sub County commissioner Peter Karanja.
The Mp urged the beneficiaries to use the money in expanding their businesses so as to improve on their economic status.
Mr. Kaunya has however asked the youth and women groups to return the money in time to enable other interested parties benefit from the same.
