Business ideas
Creating business ideas for and with the women we work with, starting from what they already know and have.
The programme
Capital to start, a mentor to ask and a market to sell to, with the planning and financial literacy that keep a new business standing.
For women starting, or starting again.
What the support covers
From an idea to the first sale.
Business management
Managing finances, record keeping, reinvesting and stocking.
Startup capital
Capital for vulnerable women to start a business, or to restock one that has collapsed.
Mentorship & market access
Guidance as the business grows, and routes to the buyers who keep it going.
In their words
Women running their own businesses.
Anarwoth Oliver, Kyebando
“Elevate Her Uganda empowered me and gave me capital to start up my maize business. It is helping in feeding my family and providing some basic needs.”
Atuhaire Judith, Kyanja
“I did not have a job before, but after learning how to weave baskets and other crafts I now sell them to craft shops.”
Achali Carol, Kireka
“I learned how to bake. I now own a shop selling samosas, chapati and cupcakes, and I am able to pay my children’s school fees.”
Gladace Anyungrwoth
“They trained us in business management skills and supported me with capital to boost my poultry farm. I now have 300 layers.”
