The problem we are solving

In Uganda and across refugee communities, thousands of youth are unemployed—not because they lack talent, but because they lack access to capital, markets and mentorship. GO USETECH closes this gap.

72%of refugee youth remain unemployed
Limitedaccess to business tools and digital finance
Highdropout rates caused by low support and income
