I Matsiko Gilbert conducted an income assessment with my client Abdon Oyet and his income is as follows.

He has two sources of income as listed below:


He works with Invisible Children Bracelet Campaign and earns Ushs. 280,000/=
He also earns Ushs. 180,000/= from the stone quarry business and his total income is Ushs466, 000/= per month.

Oyet also has expenses as outlined below:

FOOD-------------------160, 000/

SCHOOL FEES------------25,000/

RENT--------------------30, 000/

MEDICAL-----------------25, 000/

TRANSPORT---------------20, 000/

AIRTIME----------------- 20,000/
_________
TOTAL 280,000/

TOTAL INCOME - TOTAL EXPENDITURE

460,000 - 280,000 = 180,000/
180000 - 94,000 = 86,000/

Therefore Abdon needs a loan of 800,000/ and him and I have agreed that he will be paying 94,000 per month in a period of ten months and he saves Ushs 86,000/ on his account.
