Dear counselor,

I was recently fired from my job and now depend on my husband to take care of the family. I have two daughters aged nine and 11 and a son aged 14. I searched the internet for any job openings in my field – marketing - but I’ve been hitting walls.

Last week, after talking to a small-time entrepreneur acquaintance, I thought about going into business myself. I am now looking for a viable business to start. I saved up some cash when I was working but of course I’ve been forced to use some of it since my dismissal from work. What business can I start with say Rwf200, 000?
