It's 11 in the morning in Kampala Uganda tucked away in a classroom something quite out of the ordinary is happening students are running their own businesses. This group takes entrepreneurship very seriously. Is very key in making sure that our youth. They have the skills to. Businesses so that they can. Meet these. 6 in the world. Face is people fixing the well it's from the b.b.c. Well it's with me Sabra the program where we find the people innovating and solving problems around the out this week schools in Uganda students into entrepreneurs but why. I'm on my way to intended complex which is an east Kampala it's about 5 kilometers away from the city said and I'm going to talk to a couple of young people in their early twenty's about how use unemployment they are not employed they don't top the job and they're finding it quite hard to find one so I just want to know more about their struggles and why they find it so hard. Michael Hi I'm rather nice to me in my cause. He graduated from university last year so he already has a degree but despite that he's finding it hard to get a job. I've been in paid. Big bust when you're 12 months. Doesn't it bother you that you managed to get up so universal level education and still don't have the qualifications to get a job that you want. To get in the mix if you secluded you young you don't know what you're doing that's what they tend to see you don't have the experience right now I would get. That the green the courts and the lender has a degree in industrial obscenely 3 years of unsuccessful job applications she felt she had no choice but to go freelance in the fashion industry. Like you know I do every day to people who are willing to give the job to give you pity money elect not to want your time and thought you would get a job as soon as I go to compress course I think I was well established I have every right to say how we are so different what is a life if you don't know someone or know someone is very hard to get a job in the field of so many companies there and even if the company is right also the kind to keep everyone. Young people like Belinda and Michael a worried and fed up in fact the Uganda Bureau of Statistics says that in 2016 to 2017 that teen percent of young people were unemployed but many more are underemployed or in precarious an informal job. The last census showed that 3 quarters of the country's population are under 30 and a lot of them tend to plan b. They start their own businesses it's given Uganda the reputation of being one of the most entrepreneurial countries in the wild Charles or Chichi is the founding director of enterprise Uganda an institution that works with the government to teach business skills in terms of going into private sector and starting businesses Uganda is among the top 3 countries globally which is interesting which is very good unfortunately all countries also again rated but. In terms of sustenance of starting businesses in the market a lot of startups fail this isn't Uganda specific it's the nature of business but Charles says Uganda has a particular problem sustaining startups enterprises most of them as many as 80 percent within the 1st 24 months of being on the market and this is largely because it's one thing to start an enterprise quite another to round up the Enterprise in a manner that competes to fulfill expectations of the market the failure rate is a problem that Charles says can be solved with the right training the challenge as well has been that we have the response using one bullet one magic bullet which is give somebody some capital give somebody somehow not cut in on its own is not a sufficient we need to ensure that as people go into private sector they need to be given the necessary skills. To enable them to prove things that anybody who goes into private sector must fulfill. And that's where an organization called Educate comes in. Its essential enterprise that aims to tackle youth unemployment in Uganda by going into secondary schools picking out a group of students and teaching them to become entrepreneurs. And I say Dennis a secondary school it's trifling but it was yeah right this was. Rather than just encouraging students to hit the books it teaches them the skills to start their own businesses Good morning educate us. Know how to do we hold busy ties. I would like to introduce to you Ray on how team choose from there are 41 pick students 20 boys and 20 cows squeezed around 6 wooden tables they come every week for yet to lend leadership and business skills Oh. Well yes but in a case that was it was outside they play games to help build team spirit it's loud and friendly and brings them together. 10 minutes later back in the classroom where the students are about to begin brainstorming now Melinda is a teacher and mentor employed by educate She says it's important that children shape the businesses around the communities they live in can you tell me what they're doing right now we're looking at token we look at the different problems or challenges facing for example we're going to do British and. And thinking are looking back to all those different problems or how can this sort of those problems using our different projects to set up this business is so if there's a lot of waste paper route and because look to those used pads and making products to make them about specialists and different envelopes such that we gain would get money out of those paperbacks and then also some of the big problems of pollution and environment to distribution. The idea is that if you create a business that solving a problem it's more likely to last and by instilling these scales and ideas in school. Such a young age educate hope they'll have a better chance of success when they're older Well they're only 40 students are on the selective program there is another way more people can get involved educate also runs much bigger business clubs where the students mix with others and they all work together to build startups. What is that making chuckle because it looks like much at this time we are producing and so these are the fresh ones over here and what do I feel I can I can I touch it if. You want to produce job well 1st but don't freeze on the make shuffle but if you use the circle because there's no need of cutting trees these poor cats are made from kasama flour and the residue of charcoal that's already been bad can you tell me more about how you came up with the idea as he sat down in class the choice of things turning right yeah I did but the idea from home I came in but I like lessons. When I talk to them and then the men tend to move at your face and how to make it to where to be as far as a long period of time then after probably a bad idea it's harder to put into it took like to convince. Some students abuse but the plan to start businesses on their right and. I started a project such will you can really this is getting good luck a lot of the pupils he wants a salaried job but further down the line he can see him stop sucking up his day and business I said a good thing a chief in us so yeah but. I grew them up. And so do them and continue being given more and more and more right I know right now I have more than 100 children and are you making a lot of money from it yeah I try to make some money but soon so difficult goes to sustain them when we feed Simon seek me have to feed them have to do work and work so. The most expensive 3 of them but to use it for a medical list. Is it something that you think you'll continue wearing chickens is something that if you go for it seemed to be telling too I want to go near a bit on make a big foam on to the chicken you know so what I want a room that you folks when they go I make a foam which will faces a poetry good feeling but I'm really going to make a big phone he says none of this would have been possible without educate our 9 to 20 feet up in the ship's skis I had no idea if I could bring this thing but you treated it I was able to start up the project until I was soon successful and it's the confidence the self-assurance has helped get him thrive but he's not the only one who's benefited Adreno and patients are 2 friends who got together thanks to educate and have a business now say out of educate they we got the skills they taught us how to do things then we've got a fair is and we find out we have it turned into deployed team into this form projects not to mention business they collect plastic bottles that people would usually smiles and turn them into ornaments to sell them what sort of flowers team a. Lake or use what turns they found out that we can collect the plastic but that is also a part of cleaning and we have found man then we tell them to make now as the flowers would go to things they could then but people relate to. Educate ask each school to contribute between $50.00 and $130.00 a year towards that costs that's only a fraction of the running costs the rest is made up from donation. I wanted to know what's happened to solve educated peoples off of the black school and what are the lessons on capital investment profits and losses have made a difference to the businesses that are set up. And how are you. Say this is your home. Yeah Jackson is an x. Educate people he went on to university where he met another guy called Calvin could also be true educates program now they're in business together that company is called Rock of God and what is it that you do yeah in for training industry training and we have started this you know 30 years you know you're in this profession when you're running trainings so you're trained to reach out to the community outside the platform because shown brickmaking you have a big king so we're doing a lot of things so one of the exciting projects that of all course is that students take on what is in fashion and design and is it in this compound and no no one truly. Since I need a 15 minutes drive right well let's go yeah let's go. So this is when you all function and design. Plays a place where we have a little space. Why we're located where ships it's going to help us do what we do. I'm praying. For her and what is this material it's done much to you right what was white in color so I used to and I to make of these 3 different colors How long have you been doing this for the one. I want to get enough experience still kill minister with them for me yes. Jackson's business model to an extent mimics educate both fame to scale up the unemployed in Uganda but there are 2 main differences the fast Jackson's clientele students people are paying him for the training the 2nd unlike educate his business is set up to make a profit and above all help him and a living he has 8 people working for him and he says none of that would have been possible without educate educate help me with bringing a look to exposure to me for example how to business. If you get to the region. That's why I. Like this Before educate did you have any idea what you want to do after education I wanted to be. An accountant. As you know the high levels of unemployment in Uganda and so it's bitter. And you can't. Continue business I'm happy being my own voice and being. Who look up to me and the people I work with. It would seem that educate is having a positive impact on young people but not everyone who goes through the program wants to run their own business even these people can benefit says educates deputy country director how it may be a that's something they're very aware of and Alba role is to make sure that as we are creating into printing a way but we also preparing our students with the skills that I require by the labor market other people would love to be employed. So if they love to go into employment they given the right skills to be able to much what is needed in the market but also the other thing is that we also want to make sure our students are also still going to school so even if it means we have less interpreting less but we have more students going through move higher education institution and making sure that we are increasing that number that also makes us happy. Educators has commissioned to see what impact they're having they've worked with independent researchers from around the world in 2012 they ran a randomized control trial. Found students who'd been through the educate program were more likely to own a business but it didn't find evidence that it affected the quality of the businesses or how long they lasted and why now had a positive impact on savings behavior and self efficacy that students confidence in their abilities they could identify any impact on financial literacy and business planning. Now educate has commissioned a 2nd r.c.t. For a follow up by the University of California Bakley in the Us poor guy is a professor of economics at the university and one of the researches. Well. Educated is quite an impressive. Organization and seems to have very large facts on the lives of adolescents we followed about 2000 students for 4 years we found things like much better able to deal with stress. Conscientiousness and openness had improved their ability to see Munich aid have improved to negotiate had improved in terms of whether them were likely to be starting successful business is that nost Pool fans it's too soon to say he's still following that progress a large number of them were still in college when we've been back after 3 and a half years we now have we're now going back next summer to find them after 8 years and there is another area that both pool and the alley study found particularly interesting the program has a big impact on Gauss them boys and it's not just their ability to stop businesses and and money they saw a significant shift in attitudes. We saw changes in social norms especially attitudes towards towards violence towards women and women's role that man who partnered with women reported that women had should have their own say over there whether they worked or not website the work they did we found less recorded intimate partner violence in essence I think the way we saw it was what educate did was give these high school students the means and ability to take control of their lives supplant what they were going to do and to execute that not be deterred by temptation I wanted to know if he thought there were any areas where educate could improve one thing that struck him is potentially extending involvement to help people off to the finished education and all setting up businesses they hope with the put them on the family if educate really focused on business creation and management it would in bad a few of these hard skills into its great dilemma and we've been talking with that one of the great things about educating us how flexible and dynamic they are they're always interested in improving and being that Amec to upgrade what they're doing by the sounds of it educate aids helping young people in Uganda and then now in more than 850 schools that had contact with 85000 students that and people are taking notice so much say that educate has now made its way into Kenya and Rwanda where it's working with the government. Back at Rocky Mount headquarters as co-founder Jackson reflects on how far he's come liquidity of late 5 priests to be. Capito ever in life is having people besides you saw in this kind of business we have met a lot of people we're meant. To go he says we have to be the organization to me that what having it up to people that when is enough my desire and given this desire is to make these pretty very big fruited. One group. But starting with East Africa. Would any of this have been possible without educate them truly because even meeting. The one that we have the same vision we it was because of educated so meeting him it was because of educated I wouldn't have met him and this thing wouldn't have existed last educate seems to have had an impact in their lives Charles from Enterprise Uganda says there's much more that can be done to tackle the fundamental problem which is youth unemployment. Structure. For a couple of reasons but one we have high. People. People are. Few. And for them to get. An independent. Over getting those people frustration. From people fixing the well this week if you enjoyed the program then check out where you can find not. One that I like is how Ethiopia is training messes to do. That carried out thousands of sections and helped reduce the number of women dying and child by Ha. We'll be back next week with another solution until then good bye. Distribution of b.b.c.
