I-Strive Marketplace ewagira abakazi, abavubuka, n'abawala mu Uganda abakola obukwanso, ensawo, obugole, n'engoye z'emikisa gya Africa.
We provide a platform for women & youth to become financially independent by engaging in entrepreneurial activities that provide a stable income in their households.
Tuwa abakazi n'abavubuka omukisa okubeera nga beesigalidde ku by'enfuna nga beetaba mu mirimu gy'obusigazi egibasobozesa okufuna ensimbi ezimala mu maka gaabwe.
These African women have broken down the barriers that prevent them from participating in economic and business opportunities that are available to them.
Abakazi bano aba Africa bamenyye ebiziyiza ababyiza okwetaba mu mikisa gy'ebyenfuna n'amakolero egibaweebwa.
Through their activities, they have also built networks of like-minded individuals who are ready to transform their societies.
Okuyita mu bikolwa byabwe, bazimbye enkolagana y'abantu abalina endowooza y'emu abeetegefu okukyusa emigaso gyabwe.
These stories are powerful and illustrative of how they have overcome obstacles and transformed their lives. They show how they have been able to gain the skills and confidence to succeed. Most of our artisans are women and girls who fled their homes in the Democratic Republic of Congo due to the war, sexual violence, and politically charged military conflicts.
