From the classroom straight to the big stage! 🇺🇬✨

Our Ukarimu family absolutely crushed it at the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo ( )! 🚀 These young entrepreneurs, tour operators, and hospitality leaders went from intensive bootcamps to pitching their businesses to global travel buyers.

They proved that with the right training, youth-led and women-owned tourism businesses can completely change the game. 🗣️💼

Are you ready to be next? 🤔👇

If you are a young person, or know someone, based in the Rwenzori or Albertine regions who wants to build a thriving business in tourism or hospitality, we want to hear from you. 🌍🤝

Our next cohorts will be stepping into intensive bootcamps, masterclasses, and business mentoring, with direct access to major industry events just like POATE.

📲 DM us “RWENZORI” or “ALBERTINE” (depending on your location), or leave a comment below, and we’ll share details on how to apply for the upcoming cohorts.

🎥 Watch the video to hear directly from the alumni who lived the POATE experience.
