Here at Barefoot in Business we’re on a mission to empower our fellow female entrepreneurs in Uganda and inspire the next generation across the UK. We’ve teamed up with some of Britain’s top women in business to create a free, virtual masterclass series for schools that trains pupils in the basics of business and enables them to curate and sell their very own tote bag Collection made in Uganda.
how it works
As a Barefoot sponsor you will have the opportunity to nominate a school to gift the program to or, if you prefer, we can match you up with one in your local area. Then, if you’re keen to take your engagement to the next level, your students and/or staff can get involved and help deliver the workshops in person and even host the launch of your school’s tote bag Collection.
This is a tailor-made opportunity for you to engage with your local community, celebrate your commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and increase your talent pipeline - all the while helping fundraise for schools in your area. Sponsorship packages start at £2500 per school and can be customised to your budget and preferred level of engagement.
THE IMPACT
“Barefoot in Business gives our students the opportunity to put all their years of learning about business into practice through working with, supporting, and mentoring the next generation of young entrepreneurs in Glasgow.”
“I enjoyed the challenge of teaching the children about marketing, management and other business-related knowledge for the first time. My favourite part was helping the children with filming. It was impressive and memorable when I saw the kids arranging all the filming by themselves like grown-ups, at the moment I was proud of them to be this independent and proactive.”
“I would definitely recommend becoming a Barefoot in Business sponsor. You get back more than you give, it feels good to be part of something bigger and to encourage the young businesswomen of the future to learn from our experiences.”
