At Nawanyago Vocational Institute in Eastern Uganda, young people are turning everyday vegetables into new possibilities for enterprise and income. What began as a classroom project has grown into a promising student-led agribusiness initiative focused on adding value to locally available produce.

Using a dehydrator donated by Wezesha Impact, students are processing vegetables into food spices and producing crisps, gaining practical experience in transforming raw produce into marketable products.

Through hands-on learning, they are developing skills in product development, problem-solving, teamwork, and enterprise management while building the confidence to identify opportunities within their communities. Through its collaboration with vocational institutions, Wezesha Impact is helping connect practical skills, entrepreneurship, and economic opportunity, creating pathways for young people to turn what they learn into sustainable livelihoods.
