KAMPALA – On April 3, 2025, the dfcu Foundation, in collaboration with the Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU), hosted a one-day Gender Bootcamp at the TLC in Kamwokya. The training event was designed to directly address key challenges faced by many women-led micro-enterprises, including limited access to financial services, poor record-keeping, and low financial literacy.
The bootcamp, facilitated by dfcu Foundation Business Advisor Sharon Nambasa, was a resounding success, attracting a full house of 100 participants. Of those in attendance, 80% were women entrepreneurs eager to enhance their business skills.
Participants were equipped with essential knowledge in budgeting, understanding various financial products, and practicing inclusive leadership. The training also provided a valuable opportunity to introduce attendees to relevant dfcu Bank financial solutions, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to supporting the growth of Uganda’s Micro and Small Enterprises.
By providing these vital skills and connections, the dfcu Foundation and its partners continue to play a crucial role in empowering women entrepreneurs and strengthening the local business community.
