Summary
For a woman who had no money to compete in the highly comercialised election, Florence Aciro still does not believe that she is soon to be sworn in as the new Woman LC3 Councillor for Naguru 2 in Nakawa Division, Kampala.
The 38-year-old mother tells her story with teary eyes, tears of joy and thanksgiving, because (by her own admission) she still can’t believe how good the Lord has been to her.

For 15 years, Florence Aciro was a street vendor on the streets of Kampala. Her commodities of choice were mangoes, roasted ground nuts, and steamed fresh maize depending on what was in season at the time.
