About Company
Our Purpose
Working to accessibly provide young vulnerable women and youth with a robust innovation
skillset and essential resources to create sustainable social ventures and social impact in Uganda.
Our Mission
To work with communities to accelerate the power and potential of women, girls, and youth as active leaders and social entrepreneurs creating sustainable solutions within their communities.
Our Vision
We envision a world where Ugandan women, girls, and youth are actively harnessing their potential, by initiating and advancing innovative and sustainable solutions to pressing needs in their communities.
The Opportunity
We exist because Uganda has the 7th highest economic dependency rate in the world (the total number of dependents to the working population) at 92.3%, high youth unemployment (83%), and lack of rights and access to resources for women. Youth and women in Uganda need extensive educational and economic support to unlock their potential, which in turn strengthens their families and communities. Without the skills and resources they need to overcome these barriers, women, and youth are trapped in a cycle, unable to access economic opportunities, quality education, and health care services.
Our Work
We work through community partnerships to target women and youth who are significantly marginalized and vulnerable due to poverty, the growing education-to-employment gap, geography, and social constructs of gender. We implement a human-centered impact model that equips these community members with the skills they need to respond to the most critical challenges they face. The guiding principle of our model is that those we work with decide what they want to do, and choose the support and resources that they need to do it.
