Celebrating young Innovators!
TeamUp Uganda celebrates Nabuuma Grace, who received the Best Innovative Idea Award 🎉 under the Women Income Generation Opportunities Initiative (WIGOI) 2024 cohort, at a function held in Kampala on Thursday last week.
Grace, 23, the founder of AVAL agroecology Ltd , is one of the young girls mentored under the TeamUp Uganda program and inspired to establish social enterprises.
Her winning idea focuses on using solar driers to preserve food, extending its shelf life for up to a year. This offers a sustainable solution to food waste while creating income-generating opportunities for her employees and farmers.
With sponsorship from one of our funding partners, Siemens Stiftung, Capital
Solutions and the WIGOI project equipped more than 90 girls with skills covering crucial topics like gender equality, marketing & sales, personal & business branding, product certification, leadership, communication, and vision setting.
TeamUp aims to support young people to advance and expand their innovations to produce the multiplier effect of creating employment opportunities for youth and addressing bigger socio-economic problems within their communities and beyond.

Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is critical, particularly for young adolescents in and out of school. It contributes to poor school attendance and dropouts due to lack of affordable sanitary materials, especially in rural areas.
In Ssekanyonyi Sub-County, Mityana District, TeamUp Uganda works with young people to combat menstrual poverty by producing reusable sanitary pads. Last week, our implementing partner Action 4 Health Uganda organized a 5-day training at the Ssekanyonyi Youth Empowerment Centre, focusing on all aspects of production, from cutting, sizing, and sewing, to marketing and packaging. The youth greatly improved skills and knowledge, not just in production, but also in the importance of menstrual hygiene management.
The youth purchased an electric sewing machine and are now creating affordable, high-quality reusable pads which are chemical-free, irritation-free, and highly absorbent, offering a dignified and healthy menstrual experience for girls and young women. A packet of four reusable pads sells for just Ugx. 10,000 (USD 2.6). Producing the pads also provides a source of income for young people involved in their production and distribution.
On Wednesday, TeamUp Uganda celebrated the launch of a modern value-addition facility (maize mill) in Kamuli sub-county, Kassanda district. This project, handed over to 720 youth under the Kamuli Youth Empowerment Centre, marks a significant step towards empowering young people and driving economic growth in this central part of Uganda.
The ceremony, attended by hundreds of youth and esteemed guests including government officials, was a vibrant display of hope and opportunity for young people.
"This facility is a testament to the power of youth empowerment and the positive impact of private-public partnerships," said Yafesi Ogwang, Assistant Commissioner for Agribusiness at the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, while officially opening the maize mill.
On behalf of the youth, Henry Muyanja expressed immense gratitude, stating, "This maize mill is the beginning of a new chapter for us. It provides us with the tools and opportunities to achieve economic self-sufficiency and build a sustainable future."
TeamUp Uganda remains committed to supporting youth empowerment through innovative projects in agriculture, water, and health. We believe in the potential of young people to drive positive change and contribute to Uganda's socioeconomic development.
Merry Christmas dear partners, program participants and all friends who make our work possible.
