The Business Incubation Pillar,
commonly referred to as the Entrepreneurship Pillar is the latest of KiBO
Foundation’s 8 pillars. The focus of this pillar is to create a generation of
youth with an entrepreneurial mindset; a mindset that believes in job creation,
calculated risk taking, and taking advantage of every opportunity. The 35th
class has fully embraced this pillar and for the first time in KiBO’s history,
they presented their business ideas before their fellow classmates and KiBO
staff. The Nadra Movement, KiBO Tasty Delights, and Say It With Love (SIWL) are
the three ideas that three teams from this class are working on. Right here
before your eyes ladies and gentlemen, could be the birth of three multimillion
dollar enterprises.

The Nadra Movement- A Movement Like No Other: “Nadra” is a Swahili
word meaning Rare or Unusual. This team’s idea is about
empowering the next generation of Uganda through motivation, inspiration, and
talent identification right from primary school. The Nadra Movement aspires to
use performing arts and talks by successful people from different fields to
change mindsets of children, to make them believe in possibilities, and to
aspire for greatness from a tender age. Nadra believes that once a child grows
up with an “Its Possible” mindset, only the sky will be the limit to their
success.

KiBO Tasty Delights- It’ll Blow Your Mind: KiBO Tasty
Delights (KTD) prides itself in providing the best, most affordable tasty foods
around Kansanga. They currently have two products; chips and pilau. In just
over a week of running this business, KTD has raked a profit of 36,500UgShs.
With remarkable budgeting, planning, sales, negotiation, and record keeping
skills that they have employed, KTD could be the next big fast food restaurant
chain in this country. The hospitality industry might just welcome another
player in the market. Watch this space.

Say It With Love (SIWL): The name
speaks for itself; SIWL is a company that delivers gifts to your loved ones. They
currently deliver Candy and will soon be bringing to you fresh, beautiful
Flowers and Cards. They are a team that catalyzes the process of spreading love
and joy by being the people who deliver your thoughtful gifts and messages to areas
you might not reach due to time constraints. They are in the business of
sharing love and making this world a place of smiles, laughter, and joy.

This is incredible! I wish KiBO's students all the very best as they develop an entrepreneurial mindset in this country that has good investment climate. There is no telling how successful your businesses may be in the next 5 years!
