Uganda - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

#Tusonge Pamoja.At mamaflexie,we equip mothers and youth to tap on the global market through research and remote jobs.we encourage inclusiveness and prepare teams for global market through patnering with universities and organisations.

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

In 2019,I left my job due to imense pressure both from family and work.I still loved working and started searching for remote jobs through LinkedIn and everyone told me that I was looking for a white man's job which doesn't exist in Africa. Fortunately or unfortunately,Uganda was locked down due to pandemic, everyone had a chance to be home. I worked on paid surveys, data analysis and accounting and auditing for some colleagues from which I made a living and was never broke as an individual. I started equiping young women and youth to take advantage of the global market and this reduces unnecessary movements and promotes environmental sustainability by reducing pollution. It also encourages us a nation to grow together, research has shown that women's careers start abit late after they have finished giving birth, yet their contribution is essential to the society and their families. After university, many youth can't find balance because parents surrender the role of provision.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Our hash tag is Tusonge Pamoja which generally means moving all together. We are solving a problem of inclusiveness in many work places. After a colleague told me that the United Nations, staff mother has 6 months of maternity leave. I desired the same for my mothers in uganda and I can't sit and do nothing than advocate it among women and youth who are the future father's and mother's of my country. We are also embracing technology as Africa, to connect our country and market our labour on a global market. We can also avoid unnecessary driving to work which reduces environment pollution from most of our vehicles. We encourage people to read soft copies and reduce printing unnecessary. With all this we believe we are inline with the global sustainability goals hence moving forward together without leaving anyone behind.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

Companies that collaborate with mamaflexie operate on reduced costs. We equipe our teams to work with less or no supervision, this reduces operational costs by 70% since employees require no supervisor, they already have their own machines and reduced unnecessary movements. Having Universities and mothers increase their emplyability,contributes to the growth of the economy and improved livelihoods. Mothers are good at savings and also can find time to mentor and raise responsibile citizens. Taping in the global market increases their exposure and there are chances that they will earn better. Encouraging research and creativity.in our recent cohort of Cyber girls, we tasked the students to research and work on projects and we have seen amazing results from the girls.

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

The mothers.we intend to convert stay home mothers who are skilled into work at home mothers so that the home stead livelihoods are improved and have everyone's income contributions grow by atleast 10% annually so that the mothers are not just left with decision to choose between family and work place. The youth. Encourage the youth to research and study with the global market in mind.You don't have to be in Newyork to work for a company in Newyork. It is cheaper through remote jobs and research.
