A Working Future (Uganda, 2022) is a project aimed at providing young people, especially women, with skills and trainings to grow chili and other crops to achieve economic independence. This project took place in the region of Tororo, bordering with the neighbouring country Kenya. Although the chili is widely cultivated in this part of Uganda, the spice powder is mostly sold to the British market. 

This project explores the achievements and struggles of three young women, Brenda, Anna and Christable.

 

Brenda is an entrepreneur, Anna is learning from Brenda and has a dream of expanding her business, and Christable is the youngest, still at the beginning of the trainings. Three women with different stories, yet they meet similar challenges, from the daily struggle to provide food and support their families, to the shared dream of owning their own land someday. Land ownership is especially difficult for women in Uganda.
