Working in Uganda to give individuals who have a passion for fashion a route into the industry whilst also providing with a stable income.

SEEING OPPORTUNITY

This project came about through our initial research into international communities and through our thriving relationship with our Project Partner: Babuvuka Allstars Foundation. Through this we identified the following staggering statistics for Uganda.

- Prevalence of poverty within Uganda: 94% of Ugandan youths living under $2 a day

- 12% living on a stall income.

- High Unemployment within the country.

- Lack of creative and education spaces to allow Ugandans to explore their passions

Our team had a passion to do something that would help increase the creativity in Uganda as well as create more employment opportunities.
