Innovation
The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
I am trying to solve the problem of lack of funding for third lever students.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
Long terms loans to students who study at approved third level colleges and who are studying an approved program.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
Money, Money, Money. If the students have no money then they can not stay in college and better themselves
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
There arent any.
Select the stage that best applies to your business

This Entry is about (Issues)
Social Impact
What is the social impact you have had to date and how you measure it?
To date there has been no social impact as we are just starting off
Sustainability
How does your model address financial, social, and environmental sustainability?
Services will be charged for but at a low rate of intrest. The only reason for the intrest charges are to cover costs and to make a provision for bad debts. As long as we are able to financially secure the business for the first few years then long term sustainability will be easier
Awareness & learning
How do you see social entrepreneurship contributing to the improvement of developing countries?
Social entreprenurs are the only way that developing countries can improve. They will drive the contries to have more educaion and more jobs.
What aspects of your stay in Uganda as part of the competition do you think you will find most challenging and rewarding?
I dont know.
