Nicole Giusti (MBA 2021) moved to Uganda as a Global Health Corps (GHC) fellow in June 2017, working at the Kampala office of LifeNet International, an organization working to improve maternal health across sub-Saharan Africa. Six months into her fellowship she connected with Richard Walusimbi, co-founder of Acrobatics Circus Troupe (ACT), a non-profit that uses circus training as a way to provide the children of Katwe, Uganda, with the resources and skills to grow into hard-working, employable citizens. When her fellowship was over, Nicole stayed in Uganda to help grow ACT. We chatted with her about her entrepreneurial journey, the effects of COVID-19 on the company, and her hopes for ACT in the future.
