Uganda's refugee women turned entrepreneurs

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Stella, Dawa and Salome arrived at the Bidi Bidi refugee camp in north-western Uganda with little more than the clothes they were wearing. Now, all three are entrepreneurs and businesswomen, running thriving businesses and earning enough money to clothe, feed and send their children to school. Can their stories help development agencies and governments deliver support to those most in need? (Picture: Salome, picking crops in a field in Uganda.
