With training in entrepreneurship, business skills, basic computer skills, mobile technology and self-esteem, graduates like Patricia are empowered to start or improve their own businesses and provide for their families.
Patricia's story: "Through the training I gained entrepreneurship
skills, leadership skills among other skills that I use in my day-to-day life
experiences.
Thanks to U-TOUCH for giving me a grant of 150,000UGX [$50] that helped
me to resume my peanut butter business. This has greatly increased my financial
ability.
The business generates for me over 50,000UGX everyday and this income helps me
to support my family. Unlike other vulnerable women, I am no longer
financially dependent and I also employ two other ladies who help me with the
processing of the peanut butter.
My success has had an important impact on the community by inspiring other
ladies and I believe that as I advance I will also employ many other women."
