How Women in Mayuge Are Growing Their Businesses Online

Mayuge, Uganda — In many rural communities, women’s financial empowerment is a key to unlocking a family’s future — and with the growing reach of smartphones and digital payments, that future is looking much brighter.

At TechPath Africa, we’re proud to be a strong partner to these women as they grow their businesses online, connect with new customers, and increase their profits. Through our digital literacy training, micro-loans, and solar-powered tech hubs, we’re helping women become the innovators, marketers, and financial leaders their families need.

Take Namaganda Phiona, for instance, a trader from Busakira ''A'' in Mayuge. Before our training, Phiona used her phone just for calls and social messages. Now, she sells her produce directly to new clients through WhatsApp groups, accepts payments by phone, and even negotiates prices with suppliers — all without needing to travel long distances. This lets her keep more profits in her pocket, pay for her children’s education, and contribute to her community’s growing financial stability.

Through this combination of education, financial tools, and community support, women in Mayuge are turning their smartphones into powerful engines for transformation. The result? More income for their families, greater financial independence, and a path toward a future filled with opportunity.
