MINDSET PROFILE

Mindset Development Organization (MSD.Org) is a Community Based

Organisation (C.B.O) in the Republic of Uganda registration number 2706

Wakiso district; MSD.Org commenced operations in 2005 with the aim of

empowering the vulnerable girl child and teen mothers with practical

economic and social life skills.

MSD Org. runs a training centre where practical: catering, knitting, crafts

and tailoring skills are passed on to the girls. Also knowledge in behavior

change is imparted as it is very crucial at this life stage of the girls as they

tend to experience different body changes and behavior which can lead

them to challenges like HIV Aids.

MSD Org. has since 2005 passed out 221 girls for training with over 45%

immediate employment in the Hotel industry for the Catering Class whereas

for the Tailoring class in partnership with Tools With a Mission (TWAM), UK’s

Start-up kit of a Sewing Machine, the girls are well placed for self

employment.

Vision

To provide for an independent and self-sustaining Girl Child contributing

positively to her Community development

Objective

To build capacity of the youth especially teen mothers through training in:

catering, tailoring and knitting, hand crafts, behavioral change programs

and equip them with startup kits to enable them transform their lives

economically and socially.

OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFERING

MSD Org. is a training centre imparting practical skills with the sole aim of

the Girls self sustenance thereafter.

All our trainings are certified by the Uganda National Council of Technical

and Higher Education through our affiliation with the Nsambya School of

Tailoring, Cookery, Carpentry and Joinery and the Directorate of Industrial

Training of the National Ministry of Education.

Below are our practical training fields:

TAILORING, KNITTING AND CRAFTS

Here the girls undergo practical training in: general tailoring, knitting

sweaters and craft work.

At the end of training TWAM gives us startup kits of sewing machines and

knitters.

Our teachers/trainers are sourced from practicing: Tailors, artists and knitters

some of whom are former students of Mindset.

CATERING

Here the girls undergo practical training in: local and international dishes.

The girls also Study House Keeping, Foods and Beverages Production

including Local Cuisines, Foods and Beverages service, Front Office

Management amongst others.

This year, we had our girls do their internship in catering concerns in

Entebbe, a number of hotels and guest houses placed our girls for

internship, namely: the Boma Entebbe, Flight Motel Entebbe, Anna’ Corner

and Keba Inn for 3 months.

Our teachers are sourced from practicing Chefs and Bakers.

SOCIAL SKILLS

Here Social Skills of: hygiene, reproductive health, communication, self-

esteem and confidence are taught.

Mindset’s social worker visits families to do assessment and selects those in

the most need of Mindset services. The Social worker subsequently helps the

vulnerable girls and young mothers build: self esteem, hygiene, behavioral

change, counseling and guidance on their sexuality. The girls are also

helped to choose a career which will help them set long term goals. The

girls are referred to community resources such as public health tutoring for

their babies.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

This year we enrolled a total of 20 girls and successfully passed out all of

them with skills in tailoring and catering.

Tailoring

This year we admitted 11 girls in the Tailoring class with 11 of them

completing. We continue to secure linkages for our students through

internships. Tools With A Mission (TWAM, UK) continued to support our

tailoring class graduates with the sewing machine start-up kit.

Refer to the Enrollment List below for details.

Catering

This year we admitted 9 girls in the Catering class with all of them

completing. The girls successfully completed industrial training with six of

them getting immediate employment at various hotels and guest houses

example:- Dorcus at Keba Inn-Kitala, Gloria and Veronica at the Boma

Guest House Entebbe, Olivia and Hunaisa at Anna’s Corner Guest house,

Miriam Fungaro at Flight Motel Entebbe amongst others.

We were lucky to have our students enroll directly for government

examination through the National Ministry of Education and Sports’s ‘Skilling

Uganda’ program and we are still waiting for the results.

Refer to the Enrollment List below for details.

Social Skills

The Social worker has been able to add value to Mindset basing on the

needs assessment and other techniques she has used to interrelate with the

girls. She has facilitated and created an environment where the girls can

freely share their private information thus opening up thereby transforming

their self esteem and confidence.

Counseling has been provided and awareness on their rights highlighted.

However, we still have a lot to cover in this area as all the girls commute

from home and it’s heard to control their respective environments at home

because of their different cultures and backgrounds but at least we are

tackling the basics.

Business Skills

The girls were taken through basic book keeping principles and about

money, saving, credit, trust, customer care and marketing skills. A Kate

Young inspired Angel fund was put in place for group business activity

known as the Eilis Davey Initiative to allow the girls’ hands-on experience

working with money in keenly observed environment.

Under the Fund capital ranging from 10,000/= ($5) to 200,000/= ($75) is

provided for those students who have completed or are in holiday and are

keen on entrepreneurship, these monies are for mainly working capital

(buying flour, fish, cloth material, sewing machine spares parts and oils) and

expansion of existing operation (purchase of frying pan, charcoal stove,

plates, acquisition of additional sewing machine)

This Fund is overseen by Andrew Muhimbise the Mindset Project Director, he

manages it on the philosophy of business considering his Stock market

investments background.

Visitors

We hosted the Chairperson of Tools With A Mission (TWAM, UK) Mr. Bill

Dewhurst, his lovely wife and David White.

Christer , Olive Ayebare, Global Journey friends from Sweden; Carina, Lena,

Anna Mwewulize, Kerstin, Aso, Anette, Maria, Osa and the White School

and Asimara. Lois Pollock an International trainer also visited Mindset.

It was an honor to host all our guests

International travel

I am forever very grateful to Ms Asa Maria the Mindset a compassionate

Mindset friend and Ambassador in Sweden who connected us to Helene of

Adult Literacy Empowerment Fund (ALEF), who I had to travel to meet in

Kisumu for a workshop. I appreciate Helene for facilitating our up-keep in

Kisumu (Maureen & Irene). The training was very successful and we shall

soon have another-one of its kind in Uganda.

Funding

Access4 continued to be our major benefactor, contributing over half to

the Mindset budget.

The Trollehojdskolan Mullsjo in Sweden initiative spear headed by school

administration whereby students wash cars and do casual work to raise

funds to support Mindset activities also continued to support Mindset.

Beda & Renstrom (Carina’s parents) and their church in Mala Sweden have

continued to fundraise to support Mindset activities. We shall ever be

Page 10: Mindset Development Organisation Annual Report 2012

10

indebted to you. Christer and his colleagues to support one of our students

Jane Kade for a diploma in fashion and design thank you very much so.

We thank Carina and her colleagues who visited Mindset and donated T-

shirt, Pens, sport light and contributed to Jane Kade a knitter which she has

as a start up kit. (Jane is a student who survivor of the LRA rebel group she

was abducted by the LRA Kony rebels- of the infamous KONY 2012 YouTube

video, she was in captivity for some time. She was burnt and she is

physically handicapped!!)

We appreciate that through Mindset and all her partners notably Carina

and her colleagues, she has gained practical skills and is now on the path

to economic and social wellbeing

Community Service

This year once again Carol Lindsay Smith (CLS) inspired our Community

service; she facilitated us to deliver, at a Church community of Kyaruhotora

(south western Uganda.), the memory book project training and the people

who watched the video show were inspired to start on their own memory

books for the benefit of their younger generation.

The numbers were overwhelming. Most of the people did not know their

close relatives and are now happy to trace their genealogy. The Mindset

Girls too watched the memory book project and some are writing small

memory books for the benefit of their young children and siblings.

We are very grateful to CLS and her positive engagement with not only

Mindset but our community as well.

Volunteer For a Purpose- VFP

This year between the months of April and July, we had a Ugandan

Volunteer by the names Steven Golooba.

A humorous and God fearing youth, he taught paper bead making a kind

of skill that bears business that is environment friendly, simple and

manageable in terms of investment capital.

In his own words:

“Being a volunteer at Mindset Development

Organisation has been one of my best moments, as

in being given an opportunity to enjoy good

company of the founders and trainers.

I was happy to interact with trainers and inspired by

their vision. The name Mindset is so inspiring and

sharing lots of ideas with Maureen was great. I also

came to learn about the Memory Book and

watched a movie of the idea which I am training my

fellow youth on. The trainers are doing an incredible

Page 11: Mindset Development Organisation Annual Report 2012

11

job of empowering vulnerable girls with practical skills I have seen the girls

having hope to better themselves and are now looking at life positively

amidst challenges.

I Golooba Steven have always been excited about people who want to

take on the activity of passing on knowledge. In my life, I have realized that

very many people acquire knowledge but the level of passing it on is an

issue, before I think of what to get or gain, personally I have always thought

about what to give! Am glad Mindset provided me this chance.

Classes I trained in bead work or ornamentations to students as I took them

through principals and elements. There were those who are first learners

and slow learners but as the time went on, there was much interest and

great improvement as work was done in groups. Good team work.

I highly appreciate God for Mindset arrangement, commitment and many

friends they have made for the organization who have done their best to

reach out of love is the best solution. I salute you.” Golooba Steven,

Volunteer For a Purpose program Mindset Org. 2012

We are honored to have had Steven Golooba volunteer at Mindset. We

encourage volunteers from overseas to come between March and

September so as to maximize impact on girls and also in recognition of that

fact that this fits well with Uganda’s tourism Calendar- Uganda has been

voted the number one tourism destination for 2012 by the respected BBC’s

Lonely Planet Travel website you know.

Human Resources

For the excellent work and effective training, we hired teachers from other

institutions for a few modules as our trainer Rose Nakate went on maternity

leave. Robert Kyaluzi worked full time as M/s Judith Gregory went on leave

for three months to the UK.

Training, Maureen and Andrew undertook a week long group training with

The Aids Support Organisation (TASO) Uganda member groups covering:

Leadership, Financial Management, Teamwork, Business Plan Development

under the facilitated by TASO Uganda at Kanyanya and International

trainer Lois Pollock who trained on pro bono.

Challenges:

Mindset Funding after April 2014.

Cost of operation increasing day by day, notably shipping and levy

costs for getting TWAM equipment over.

Some girls fall sick and we cannot cater for all their needs like

medical for this case.

Action Report and feedback on previous year Challenges:

Tough Economic environment, since the beginning of 2011 cost of

items has steadily moved upwards with inflation hitting a high of 30%;

this has affected especially our Catering class with some food items

like sugar tripling in price at one time, for the Tailoring class we

resorted to buying material in bulk and constantly seeking cheaper

alternatives.

We managed inflation by purchasing non-perishable tailoring and

catering requirements in bulk

We also fixed idle funds on our Bank account, as the Bank’s fixed

deposit interest rates were reasonably high and this cushioned our

future expenditure from inflation.

Future Outlook

Funding

Continue to explore our funding options, strengthen relation with the

‘Skilling Uganda’ a National Initiative for youth employment.

Management

Set up an effective but simple management information system for a

learner and agile management able to deliver results

Expenditure

Cost cutting measures from the 2011 inflation boom to be maintained

and further be perfected.

Performance Review

We have witnessed an improvement in performances for both subjects.

A number of yard sticks were used to assess the performance of the

students like internal and external practical examinations, employment

levels including self employment and discipline exhibited during internship.

We monitor our Trainees and we have progressively cut down on our drop

out students through profiling students on admission.

Placements and Employment

The current population growth rate in Uganda is high and can not be

matched with the employment opportunities and the best way to go about

unemployment is by encouraging, by providing the tools for, self

employment.

The catering students stand a high chance when it comes to employment

in the Hotel industry in Uganda where we secure industrial training slots with

some being retained. This year, six girls secured employment at :- the Boma,

Flight Motel, Anna’s corner and Keba Inn.

Start up kits (Sewing machines) from Tools With A Mission (TWAM) have been

given to the Tailoring class graduates and a good number is already self

employed.

Mindset has continued sourcing business opportunities for the girls too. E.g.

connecting them to schools to make uniforms and sweater.

Volunteers and Seminars

We conduct seminars with resource persons who share their experience

and knowledge with the girls in various aspects of life.

Sandra Kyagaba taught the girls about: dangers of HIV/AIDS.

Claudio Berghenti, a manager at Anna’s Corner café in Entebbe, discussed

etiquette skills in the hospitality business in general with emphasis in the

hotel industry.

Andrew Muhimbise discussed Entrepreneurship skills and Mary Okullo from

Crane Bank Limited Baita taught them about savings and how to run a

savings account and gave tips on saving.
