Snacks4U Founder – Aisha Ganda’s Entrepreneurship Journey Is A Tale Of Resilience
Aisha Ganda is the CEO of Snacks4U brand, which offers roasted simsim, pumpkin seeds, soya, hard-corns, and groundnuts. She started her business with chapatis, samosas, and half cakes, which she would supply to school canteens under the business name Aisha's Confectionaries. However, the short shelf life of chapatis and other soggy eats marked the end of the first baptism. Then came Snacks4U. Aisha added roasted simsim, pumpkin seeds, soya, hard-corns, and groundnuts to the merchandise. With the school market ending and requiring more supply, Aisha relied on vigorous marketing and community effort. She would have women from the barracks provide labor while others brought their raw products, and she handled the finishing part.

Motiv and Mkazipreneur partnered to make Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) masks for civilians in Uganda to protect themselves against COVID-19 while providing opportunity for tailors. The initiative gave ordinary people like tailors and fashion designers a chance to contribute to the fight against COVID-19. The masks were effective and reusable, and are now being used by hospitals. The project also opened the eyes of many tailors to the fact that they are valuable players and their skills can be useful way beyond garment construction. The initiative also provided financial support to tailors and opened their eyes to small opportunities around them.
