NOTE from the Chief Technical Advisor & Instructor Francis Bukenya. “We cannot seek achievement for

enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.”

Cesar Chavez.

This project seeks to (a) equip the participants with entrepreneurial skills to enable them initiate, run

and sustain their business. (b) To promote Entrepreneurship culture among the grassroots communities

so that they are able to start and successfully manage their own businesses as a lifetime career option.

(c) To promote access to finances for participant entrepreneurs through local commercial financial

institutions like banks, micro finance and SACCOs. (d) to sensitize the grassroots people on the need for

self-employment, adaptable and practical entrepreneurship skills with an aim of starting small and

medium scale enterprises.

Supporting a woman is the best thing anyone can do today. The courage, love, passion and care a

woman has, is what keeps the world moving. Join us today and we empower our mothers.
