]]> Total School Assistant (TSA) caters to all the data processing and information management needs found in any type school, such as general human resource data, student biodata, financial data and so on. TSA also diversifies by completing a number of other applications that use the same concept of integrated biometrics with wireless connections but in very different implementations. This includes: general human resource and payroll applications, biometric university cafeteria management system, etc. We are currently in the process of making further technological advancements to our initial concept by incorporating iris recognition biometrics to the current setting.

]]> Ugandan entrepreneur, Richard Bbaale is a social entrepreneur from Uganda that founded BanaPads in 2010, a company using banana pseudostem wastes, which are usually left to rot after harvesting, to make sanitary towels.

BanaPads is an award winning social enterprise registered in Uganda and Tanzania with the aim of manufacturing affordable and eco-friendly (100% biodegradable) sanitary pads to keep village girls in school and create jobs for local women.

The pads are also collected to be used as manure and this means that the waste that goes to the local landfill will be reduced since the banana pseudo-stem is a recyclable product.

]]> Juliet Namujju is the CEO of Kimuli Fashionability, a Ugandan fashion label on a mission to create a world made better with recyclable fashion.

Her story started with the loss of both her parents at an early stage of her life. While growing up, her grandmother who was a tailor taught her how to sew from waste. With the funds from sewing, she was able to fund her high school education and take a short course in Fashion and Design.

Juliet’s business, Kimuli Fashionability which is founded to create an equal opportunity for people with disabilities and for environmental conservation through recycling has been featured on CNN’s African Voices Changemakers. Currently, Juliet Namujju is selling her fashion in Uganda, Germany and Poland. In the future, she also wants to open up markets in Austria or even the United States.

His agri-business, Ataari River Integrated Irrigation Initiative (ARIII), a horticulture and rice production venture identifies, trains and seeds young people to begin their own agri-business ventures in a model dubbed “Learn as you earn”.

Since receiving seed capital from the TEF Entrepreneurship Programme, ARIII has grown from strength to strength and has been at the forefront of transforming agriculture from peasant-led to commercial. As such, they have championed efforts like organising irrigation masterclasses to help mitigate the effects of climate change. ARII also organises Open Field days to link farmers to the latest technologies in Agriculture.

ARII hosted His Excellency, the President of Uganda, H.E Yoweri Museveni, to commission an irrigation project and tackle the effects of climate change – currently a threat to agriculture in Uganda.
