In 2019, Mary participated in financial literacy training that Centenary Bank organised in Bidibidi, one of the world's largest refugee settlements, in Northern Uganda. Three years on, Mary is leading a profitable tailoring business and employing other women to support their families so they can support their families. The training was part of a project that reached refugees in 9 settlements across Uganda. The initiative was backed by the European Investment Bank's Capacity Building Project for East Africa, targeting local banks and their clients and customers.
