At Action for Development Initiative (AFODI), we are deeply committed to building a brighter, self-reliant future for Uganda by investing in its greatest asset—its youth. Our entrepreneurship programs in high schools and universities are designed to inspire, educate, and empower students, enabling them to harness their creativity, develop practical skills, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Why High School Entrepreneurship Matters
Entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business; it’s about cultivating a mindset of problem-solving, resilience, and innovation. At AFODI, we recognize the immense potential in young minds and aim to unlock it by providing the right tools, mentorship, and opportunities to prepare students for real-world challenges.
By introducing entrepreneurial education early, we bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application. Students learn to generate ideas, evaluate opportunities, and execute plans, laying a foundation for success both in their careers and in life.
Our Approach
Our programs emphasize a hands-on approach, engaging students in activities that promote financial literacy, teamwork, and critical thinking. Through interactive workshops, mentorship from successful entrepreneurs, and exposure to market trends, students gain the confidence and knowledge needed to pursue their dreams.
