One of the biggest issues in Uganda is youth unemployment. Millions of people ages between 18 and 28 years old lack a job which translates in low quality of life, high violence rates, informal employment and difficulty to break the poverty cycle. To address this issue, Nsimire Aston and his team launched IHFVA in 2020 as a community-based organization that trains youth on entrepreneurial, and farming skills that allow them to start their own enterprises and enhance their quality of life.
The organization has designed an agricultural method that converts waste into organic fertilizer, which can be simply replicated by young farmers to turn it into another source of income while improving the quality of their yields. So far, the organization has trained over 50 young farmers on their fertilizer method and in entrepreneurial skills which has enhance their yields ‘production, created new jobs, and empowered them on new obtaining new sources of income.
Despite their great efforts, IHFVA was facing one of the most common issues for non-profits, lack of funding and an structured business model that helps them obtain sources of income that can be used to enlarge their impact and take their method to the next level. That’s where Synertium comes in. As a consulting company, our team has focused on advising and accompany IHFVA to design the right business model that accommodates to their necessities and to identify their main gaps where funding should be allocated. Afterwards, we searched for the right kind of funding, and co-design a suitable project that can be submitted to multiple grant opportunities.
Synertium´s advisory has helped them better structure their business model by identifying specific services that can be sold to sustain their work, design a feasible pilot project that will be displayed around their territory, define an impact reporting strategy to monitor and evaluate their success and define a set of funding opportunities that fit their profile and necessities to become more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
