ποΈ Limited markets often push young entrepreneurs to quit. But as one said: "Opportunities are created."
With @ILOProspects, through #i_Upshift innovation program we are helping 29 youth groups explore 4 local #markets in Isingiro, selling, learning & gaining new customers. π

At the launch of #Botanica, founder Patient Baraka shared a bold vision: #industrialization in Nakivale.
With resilient refugee leaders, we see itβs possible. π
As humanitarian support declines, we need to back #refugee and host enterprises with $100kβ$500k capacity & funding.
