Overview

Mission

We provide capacity enhancement and investment for young women and youth in rural Uganda to launch social ventures.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, our Social Enterprise and Innovation Program (SEIP) expanded its impact by equipping rural young women and youth with essential skills, capital, and confidence to drive community transformation through entrepreneurship. Thanks to our partners, the program exceeded its annual enrollment target of 500 participants, reaching a total of 562 individuals. Among these, 66.4% (373) were female. The program maintained a robust completion retention rate of 89.0%, with 442 participants successfully completing the entire training and incubation cycle. A notable 72.4% of participants concentrated on agribusiness solutions and innovations, demonstrating a strong alignment with priorities related to food security. Additionally, we increased our investment in patient returnable capital, allocating the most critical resource capital to last-mile-led ventures, raising the amount from $1000 in previous years to $1500 in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
