About TEU
Talents Enabling Uganda (TEU) is a livelihoods empowerment organization that exists to improve the quality of lives of youths and women through skills education, entrepreneurship, health and Psychosocial support interventions. We also engage in social and behavioral change communications, striving to create a lasting impact on the lives of youths and women in Uganda.
OUR PROGRAMS
Health (SRH, Fistula HIV/AIDS, Mental)
Recognizing the holistic nature of well-being, we do not address just economic empowerment but also health issues, including sexual and reproductive health, fistula awareness and prevention, HIV/AIDS, and mental health. Conducting advocacy campaigns, creating safe spaces, and providing psychosocial support and counselling, is to promote the overall health and well-being of youth as they manage their enterprise.
Education and Skills Development
The program aims to empower vulnerable youth (teenage mothers, fistula survivors, and in-and-out-of-school) and women by equipping them with essential life and vocational skills, adult literacy and educational support to enable them to either reintegrate into formal education or acquire skills for income-generating activities.
Livelihoods (Economic Empowerment)
This program supports youth and women to Ideate, select, plan, startup and effectively manage income-generating activities through entrepreneurship education, business planning, Business Development services support, trainings coaching and mentorship. We hold business pitch competitions and winners are supported with startup capital to enable youths to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.
BPRM-Micro Business Owners Training & Mentorship Program
About the Program
A total of 65 micro-business owners (groups and individuals) mostly refugees, asylum seekers and host community members participated in the training. Before the training, the groups faced COVID-19 pandemic breakout challenges which led to loss of their business working capital, customers, suppliers, and premises over failing to remit rental dues.
Objective
The overall objective of the training was to mentor and coach the 65-micro business owners to develop feasible business plans, provide business and financial management skills as well as market oriented skills needed for them to run stable, sustainable and scalable businesses including supporting them to stay afloat during and after COVID 19 pandemic.
