But she is realistic and knows that money is tight. So tight in fact that the success of each harvest at home is what determines whether she will be able to remain in school from one year to the next.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I\u2019m not in class I work on the farm to help my mother. If we get a good harvest, we can eat and I can carry on going back to school.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Supported with training by Self Help Africa, Fulumina recently started a small enterprise that has allowed her to earn more from her potato.\u00a0 By hand-processing her vegetables into crisps, she is getting more per kilogram than she would from bags of potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Her profits are still small and the margins still tight, but each extra Ugandan shilling improves Grace\u2019s chances of being able to complete school.<\/p>\n<p>Grace is extremely proud of her own mum&#8217;s achievements too:\u00a0&#8220;She has done well, and I am so grateful to her.
