Meet Elvis, a student by day and an entrepreneur in the making. 💼✨

While still in high school, Elvis made a powerful decision not to wait for life after graduation, but to start building his future now.

Through hands-on training with Sawa World, Elvis learned a practical business skill in jewelry making and turned it into a micro-business he runs alongside his studies. He is one of 1,107 students empowered through the Short Local Business Skills Training Project, a transformative partnership between Sawa World and School for Life Foundation

This is exactly what Uganda’s new competency-based schools' curriculum is all about: equipping students with real-world skills beyond the classroom. Elvis is living proof that when students gain practical skills early, they don’t just prepare for jobs, they create opportunities.

5 years ago, Evelyne didn't know where her next income would come from.

Today, she runs her own micro-business, feeding her family, paying school fees, and lighting the way for others in her community. This transformation started with a skill.

Through Sawa World's local income training, Evelyne discovered what was already within her: the drive, the resilience, and the ability to build a micro-business from the ground up. And now? Her success is contagious. This is the Spark Effect 🌱 One person learns. One family rises. One community shifts. And suddenly, others believe they can too.

Watch her and other inspiring youth share their journeys above, and ask yourself: What could change if you took that first step?
