Thank you, @CURADOrg, for empowering youth MSMEs.
It is such stories as Winnie Kiiza's inspire a generation of hard-workers that grow the nation.
When Ugandan youth are empowered enough to spend their energies building businesses, they will change the fortunes of both their communities and our economy.
This is why our collaborative work under the SAYE Project is a change-maker.
With other partners i.e. @Heifer_Uganda, @fsduganda, and @AsigmaGroup, we are not only stimulating agribusiness to create employment for youth in Busoga sub-region, we are transforming the economy of Uganda, starting on the foundation.
Keep it up.

A good product can open doors, but strong financial skills keep them open.
Last week, our entrepreneurs under the #SAYEproject strengthened their financial management skills across key agribusiness value chains in Mayuge, Bugiri, Namutumba, Kamuli & Jinja.

From poultry, horticulture, oilseed, dairy and beef enterprises, the focus was on costing, pricing, record-keeping and cash flow management—equipping entrepreneurs to make better decisions, improve profitability, and run sustainable agribusinesses.

“I used to struggle with record keeping… now I can track my money better,” Winnie Kiiza, 24
“I have learned to separate business money from personal use…” Jamira Barirye, 23
These reflections show growing financial discipline and stronger foundations for business growth.

📍Our visiting expert in poultry management from @PUM_nl, is in Jinja City!
Françoise de Goeijen arrived last evening in the capital of Busoga subregion where we are currently enhancing the capacity of youth in the poultry value chain.
She engaged youth chicken roasters at a roadside selling spot -- one of the major customer touch points -- as well as those in slaughtering, on food safety and hygiene.
This morning, she met youth in poultry feed production and selling at their enterprises where they discussed mixtures, concentrates, and compositions to enable proper growth.
