What Our Community Says

Hear inspiring stories from women who transformed their lives through our programs.

As a student entrepreneur, I struggled to balance school and business, taking a toll on my mental health. I learned that work and life are intertwined and prioritising one doesn't mean neglecting the other.

Participant, Fashion Design and Tote Bag Business

I attended the training with a dream to grow my piggery and veggie projects. I wanted to dive into poultry farming, boost my marketing, and research more. The training and pitching sessions were a game-changer - I secured capital to expand, collaborate, and make my farm's future brighter!

Participant, Teso-Uganda

Before Affempreneurs, I didn’t think I could run a profitable laundry business. Now I employ three other women and have doubled my income. More importantly, I have learnt how to be confident in a man’s world.

I have attended the programme as a participant and as a guest speaker. I now want to commit to helping more women through mentorship.

Mentor, Eco-Cyclers

I'll never forget the inspiring stories… from crochet to cooking, their passion for entrepreneurship was palpable. I was honoured to be part of their journey, watching them develop skills and adapt strategies like SWOT analysis to boost their businesses. Our discussions were electric, filled with zest and passion.
