What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
I am looking for help in developing a sustainable organization that empowers the locals.
Actions I’ve taken so far
I am fundraising to first bring solar electricity to a village in Uganda before we start the process of creating a maker space and bringing educational resources and technologies.
My future goals
Expand to different countries with a sustainable business model.
My motivations to work with a mentor
I'm interested in having a mentor as I want to get away from doing everything without much outside input or direction.
About my venture
Arise
I am currently in the process of filing a Non-Profit called Arise. Arise will bring Maker-Space hubs to poor areas that have little to no access to education. The Maker-Space hubs will be a classroom/lab setting where the locals can come to learn and grow and discover new passions through different areas, such as Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and even art and music. This will be a place to grow and collaborate with peers and take classes that are offered. I am looking to encourage people in pursuing their passions and teach them how to use the internet to self learn.
Countries of operation: Uganda, United States of America
