A Utah woman is working to give back to those back in her home country by sending money to a school she started in Uganda.
"I do online shopping for customers, I go and and get the items and pack them," she explained. "If i send $600, in my country it is around 2.5 million; for me 2.5 million can do a lot, it can pay for the electricity, it can pay for water, it can pay for medical, we can buy food," Sserabila said.
But Olivia doesn't do it alone. Across the Atlantic, her son, Joseph Matovu, handles the daily school operations. "We teach them how to sustain themselves," he said."We train them, some of them, how they can manage their finances and how they can stop what is going on in the country. We have girls that have dropped out from school because they got pregnant and we train them how to do fashion.
