At the Entrepreneurship Institute of Technology (EIT), formerly known as the EIAAT, we believe that entrepreneurs are the key to the future and that there is an imperative need for young Ugandans to learn viable skills and to be able to earn a living using them. The spirit of entrepreneurship is that one identifies opportunities, builds a business based on these options and creates jobs that transform the community. EIT helps these entrepreneurs find ways to do so, by providing training and help identify source of start up funds.

There is no need for a perfect business model, but there is demand for those who work hard, and are willing to stay the course and gain experience and expertise. Public opinion is often a detriment to Ugandan women venturing out on their own. With the skills they learn and the pride of having earned their first and subsequent sewing machines, “What will people say?” is replaced with “How much have I earned this week and how well fed is my family?” It is the end result that counts. P4P and EIAAT offer the starting point so that young Ugandans generally and women specifically may take the lead.

Social Enterprise Africa is starting 2011 with an appeal for money to support the development of a new school – the Chrysalis School – for capable young teenagers in Uganda. The school is a unique strategy to seed disadvantaged rural areas all over Africa with selfless, well-informed and reliable social entrepreneurs, who will create change in their home areas over the next few years.

The Chrysalis School is based on the outskirts of Kampala and, in 2011, It is consisting of just one year group and two classrooms. It is located a few minutes walk from the Chrysalis Centre, which provides a stimulating living environment for school attendees and activity resource for youth in the local area. The school is providing free places to children from remote rural areas from Northern Uganda – Kitgum and Lamwo districts, which is an area desperately in need of development, following a decade of war. It is also provide training in social enterprise, ethics and international citizenship in addition to its core curriculum. Students are also having access to ICT and are able to develop any talents they may have in art, music or drama.

In Northern Uganda, senior schools are extremely poorly-equipped and are unlikely to be able to provide the education that capable children need. There is no market for private schools, which can provide a better service, as people live almost exclusively in poverty, either in a camp or in a remote homestead or village.
