For nearly five years, Maria, a small retail shop owner in Arua, had worked hard to keep her business running. She woke up before sunrise, opened her shop early, and served customers with a smile, hoping that her efforts would produce good results. But despite all her dedication, her shop kept collapsing slowly, one month after another. Customers who used to buy from her stopped coming. Her sales dropped to almost nothing, and her stock expired on the shelves. Maria could not understand why everything she touched in business was failing.

Maria began to believe someone had cursed her shop or that bad luck was following her.TO READ MORE,TAP HERE
