FROM DOMESTIC WORKER TO SKILLED FASHION ARTISAN
Nagujja a 18-year-old resident of Ggaba, Makindye division, Kampala, lives with her grandmother and two siblings. After completing her senior four education, she found herself in the role of a live-out domestic worker in Ggaba, earning a modest Ugx. 50,000/= shillings. This decision was driven by her desire to support her siblings’ education and provide for her family’s basic needs.
In her previous life as a domestic worker, Nagujja was discovered by a community champion trained by the Platform for Labour Action where she was supported for enrolment in a Fashion and Design course at Nile Vocational Institute in March 2023. Her dedication and hard work during her internship at a shop in Bunga led to her retention post-internship. However, her employment was short-lived as her employer relocated the shop to Wakiso district.
