Here at Barefoot in Business we’re on a mission to empower our fellow female entrepreneurs in Uganda and inspire the next generation here in the UK. Over the course of 8 workshops, we train pupils in the basics of business before challenging them to create their very own social enterprises selling a range of tote bags made in Uganda.

From naming their business all the way through to planning a full scale takeover of our @BarefootinBiz socials - the pupils have complete creative control over the project and, as you’ll see, just like our team in Uganda they mean business!

NOTRE DAME PRIMARY SCHOOL

“We chose the name totally totes because it sounds catchy.  They’re tote bags and they are totally good quality.  You know what we are selling and it rhymes so it gives the feeling of ‘popping’ and gives a nice idea of the bag.”
