KadAfrica Ltd. Ashoka Future Forward Winner | SPRING Venture | Unreasonable Enterprise | Empowering out of school girls through passion fruit farming

KadAfrica is the vision of Eric and Rebecca Kaduru—two young entrepreneurs. Located in Fort Portal, Uganda, KadAfrica increases the knowledge, agricultural productivity, and income of smallholder farmers in East Africa. KadAfrica operates with the mission, “to empower the youth and small farmers, and equip them with new skills and techniques in production, quality packaging, and marketing for incr

eased incomes”. We began as a small horticulture project in Fort Portal, Uganda, employing a handful of farmworkers. Through relationships with local farmers and the community, it was recognized that we could create real household level change for men and women by providing them with the skills and resources necessary to generate a protected income. KadAfrica registered as a private enterprise in 2012 and began bigger-scale cultivation of passion fruit. Since then, we have expanded operations and grown our impact to reach more than 2,000 smallholders in rural Western Uganda. In 2018 we launched our non-profit, which since then, has been responsible for the implementation of the “KadAfrica Experience”; an age and gender-specific curriculum and complimentary family programming and advocacy component developed in 2015 and designed to work specifically for young women. KadAfrica promotes entrepreneurship through agriculture as it challenges the cultural stereotypes that dictate sector development in Uganda.

Women in Kyaka start micro business and increase resilience
In Kyaka II refugee settlement, the majority of small businesses are owned by women. Most of
these women are the main breadwinners for their families, and they run a wide range of
businesses such as small kiosks, food stalls, hairdressers, and retail shops. is
working with women groups to build entrepreneurial capacity. Over the past year, we have been
assisting 120 young women in starting and growing their businesses and we have observed
tremendous change in the business mindset of women, with courage to start new businesses, planning their finances, and saving for future investment. All these changes have led to increased income and savings which now support their families and increase livelihood resilience. .

Trauma carried forward.
Nothing prepares you for the horrific stories from people running away from war in DRC. There are parents who have lost family not sure if they are dead or alive, children who saw their parents die right in front of their eyes, young girls who were r***d and now walk around with a life growing inside them, very hopeless situations! You would think that it gets better when they get to refugee settlement camps but there is a lot of adjustment. They are sleeping in the same areas with strangers, the food is little, the money in non existent, they don't understand the language, it is "a frying pan to the fire" situation.
In a state like that, they need people readily available to help them through this transition because their mental health has been dealt a big blow. settlement
