Doreen
Nabakka, is a 20 year self-driven farming entrepreneur from Entebbe- Uganda . She
has a passion for music and her life mission is to inspire the young generation
to live productive lives by equipping them with relevant skills. She has a calm
personality that projects unwavering commitment, resilience and focus. She
believes that the key to being a successful entrepreneur is to have a clear and
well defined vision for your life and your business that guides your day to day
decisions.
Doreen
had so many dreams while growing up. She aspired to be a business woman, a
musician, a social worker, children worker, dancer, chef and tour guide. But in
2011, she was forced to drop out of school due to lack of tuition. With each
passing day, her dream moved further out of her reach. Her light grew darker every
day and she resolved to do whatever she could to survive and make ends meet.
Fortunately her sister introduced her to the hair plaiting and styling business
which kept her going for a while. A couple of months ago, her half-brother who
happens to be a former participant introduced her to Kyusa and she signed up
for the second intake.
Through
her studies at Kyusa, Doreen has rediscovered her dream and has developed
strategies to fulfill it. She has learnt that entrepreneurship is all about
vision and passion. In learning about how to turn her passion into a
profession, her life has opened up to endless business possibilities and
opportunities that she had never anticipated. She says; “I envision setting up an organisation in the near future that will help
the young generation acquire skills on how to do business and how to live
productive lives based on purpose, courage and joy”. Just like any other
successful entrepreneur, Doreen is passionately pursuing her vision.
Doreen,
unlike many other school drop outs, has identified her life purpose and is
living a meaningful life. She is no longer going through the motions of
survival but building a legacy that will change her generation and make the
world a better place.
Kyusa
empowers out of school youth in the urban slums to turn their passions into
professions by exploring the use of ICT tools and the development of employable
as well as entrepreneurship skills. This is done through a twelve weeks program
where participants undergo a rigorous training regime that equips them to
successfully launch into the labor market. We invite you to be part of this
drive to ‘Raise Generations of Change Agents’ by either recommending a young
person for the program or becoming a Kyusa hero (financial partner). Our next
intake will be in January 2015
We
shall be pleased to hear from you.
Thank
you
