Meet Sarah: the young entrepreneur in Uganda doing good

“Watching my mother for hours at the sewing machine is possibly one of the more soothing memories of my childhood. I feel like we have come full circle—with me and my sewing machine now helping me raise our family.” –Sarah, a participant in a BRAC youth empowerment club who now runs her own business.

She is one of 1.2 million adolescent girls and young women being equipped with age-appropriate entrepreneurship, employment, and life skills training, as well as the tools to start and scale their own businesses, through the Mastercard Foundation Accelerating Impact for Young Women (AIM) program, in partnership with BRAC.
