"I'm living my dreams and not dreaming my life!"

Joseph Bwinika

Founder of Tucheke Movies Production, Nakivale Refugee Sttlement

"Before I joined SINA I didn’t know what to do with my life, I was scared that I was going to be a failure because I had no hopes of continuing with studies but after joining SINA and through a lot of empowerment and coaching, I realized my passions and regained hope for success and created a change in my life."

Joan Nalubega

Founder of Uganics

"I am now strong emotionally and no longer put blame on anyone for the challenges that I met in life and I uphold challenges to give me solutions. I was able to find my passion and create a social benefit to the society out of it."

Angella Marjorie

Founder of the Gejja Women Foundation

"Before SINA, I was not able to express myself and give my view about challenges that affect me and my community, after SINA am able to pursue my passion and dreams of fashion and supporting persons with disabilities with the help of life coaches and mentors. SINA has changed my life through discovering myself, identifying and developing my passions and it has kept me thinking and creative all the time. I am an empowered leader now and have been able to create an enterprise. "

Juliet Namujju

Turatsinze Victor

Co-Founder of OPPORTUNIGEE and SINA Unleashed in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement

Sylvain Himbana

Co-Founder of SINA Loketa in Bidibidi Refugee Camp

"SINA has created a new me. It changed me into an inspirational story and helped me touch the lives of communities. Through SINA I have created my own job and I learnt to live with others and to support others. I am able to lead, speak openly and have a clear vision for my life. SINA is what Uganda needs to change the 83% youth unemployment rate."
