Kabagenyi Margret

CEO, Maggie Arts and Crafts

In January 2018, I embarked on a transformative journey as a salesperson, where I delved into the world of art and craft. That’s where I learned the ropes of business and found my passion for it. Little did I know, that this experience would sow the seeds of entrepreneurship within me. After a year and a half, I gained valuable experience in the business world. So, I took a leap of faith and started my own business. With just 1.5 million Uganda Shillings capital, I rented a space for a month and stocked up supplies.
