Recently, with support from Skills and Business for Africa, I completed an intensive training program at the Mushroom Training and Resource Center (MTRC) in Kabale, where I deepened my knowledge of mushroom cultivation techniques. This training empowered me to innovate within the agricultural sector, providing sustainable solutions to food security challenges.

My background in accounting has equipped me with strong financial management skills, allowing me to make informed decisions and maintain the financial health of my ventures. I leverage this expertise to ensure that my agricultural projects are not only successful but also economically viable.

During my years in poultry farming, I learned the importance of resilience, adaptability, and hands-on management. Despite the successes, I realized that mushroom cultivation offered a more sustainable and climate-resilient path, particularly for the communities I serve. It also provides a quicker return on investment i.e. one month unlike Poultry which was three months. This shift has allowed me to focus on creating lasting change through sustainable agriculture.

I have had the privilege of training women, young girls, and farmer groups in Poultry, empowering them with the skills needed to improve their livelihoods. My work has led me to rub shoulders with a lot of influential people, enabling me to expand my reach and make a positive impact in rural areas.

Beyond mushroom cultivation, I have held various responsibilities in community development and agricultural initiatives. My experience extends to leadership roles in local organizations where I have been able to apply my financial insights and teamwork skills to achieve shared goals.

As I continue on this journey, my focus remains on expanding my impact within the agricultural sector, particularly in climate-resilient practices. I am actively seeking new collaborations and opportunities to further strengthen community-driven agriculture in Uganda.

Working with others is at the core of everything I do. Whether it’s guiding a team, collaborating with partners, or supporting community projects, I strive to build positive relationships and foster a spirit of cooperation. I believe that by working together, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
