Training of Business Skills

The women were trained in entrepreneurial skills by Rtn. Constance Nyamikoka, (Tororo Youth Initiative for Professional Development, TYPID) in 8 modules over a period of six months. The curriculum also included strengthening women's self-confidence, working in a team, addressing problems and solving them together. This training was sponsored by the Austrian partners privately by Doris and Judith and supported by their Rotary Clubs (Innsbruck Alpin and Kitzbühel).

The official graduation ceremony with the presentation of certificates took place in Kidera on 15th of December 2024 - together with TYIPD, the Austrian partners (Doris (RC Innsbruck Alpin) and Judith (RC Kitzbühel)) and RC Gaba. Part of the ceremony was covered by the Global Grant funds, part by Doris and Judith and their Rotary Clubs.

This is the first step towards a self-determined future.

A pitch was organised by Judith and Doris in December 2024, with the prize money sponsored by RC Innsbruck Alpin. A jury selected the winners, who used the Award money to work as a team to establish their businesses.

In December 2025, Doris and Judith will hold a workshop together with Agnes, Constance and KDF in Kidera to discuss progress and determine the next steps for expanding the various businesses, with a focus on microloans and new business areas (bakery).
