Youth entrepreneurship activity

Why Entrepreneurship?

Northern Uganda is filled with talented and determined young people. However, many face limited opportunities for formal employment. Entrepreneurship gives them a pathway to self-reliance—empowering them to turn ideas into thriving businesses that support their families and communities.
