The Uganda Women Entrepreneurs Association Limited (UWEAL) is joining the rest of the world to celebrate the Month of Women Entrepreneurs (MOWE), which is a global event that is celebrated in November with the aim of appreciating women's success and inspiring millions of others that are still held up in the confines of cultural and gender-norms or lack capital, information and knowledge to start a business.

“According to our 2017 research, among 210 women in Kampala, only 44 (21%) are exporting and yet Uganda has secured huge markets in China, USA, European Union, as well as COMESA.
