Last year, Andrew, an Australian member of the B4T Core Team could not keep the excitement out of his voice as we spoke on Skype – Andrew in Yangon, Myanmar and me in the UK. We must start B4T in Uganda!! Of course I was excited about Uganda, the country where I was born, but was also cautious about the mountains that needed to be shifted if this was to work.
Claire, a graduate in entrepreneurship from Makerere University in Kampala, joined as a B4T Developer. She operates from a facility in the Katwe slums of Kampala (If you get a chance watch the movie ‘Queen of Katwe’ put out by Disney to get the background). She is mother of 4 and a businesswoman in her own right.
We have spent time training Claire in this role. It carries a lot of responsibility Already Claire has worked with and lined up 5 businesses ready for training. Within weeks we were able to launch B4T over on the western side of Uganda in the foothills of the Ruwenzori mountains.
