According to the nonprofit organization Uganda 4 Her, around half of the girls in Uganda between the ages of 15 to 24 are illiterate. Meanwhile, 10% to 25% is how much a girl’s income will increase with every extra year of education. It’s also reported that an educated woman in Uganda will invest 90% of her income into her family.

It’s truly admirable when someone sees a huge problem, and takes steps to come up with a solution, even if they have to go on a long winding road to get there. That is the amazing story of our guest, friend, and partner, Liz Bohannon. Liz is the founder of the socially conscious fashion company, Sseko Designs, and the fair-trade coffee brand, Together Coffee. She is also the author of "Beginner’s Pluck" and the host of another podcast on the HGM network, "Plucking Up".

In 2009, Sseko began as a way to generate income for high potential, talented young women in Uganda to continue on to university. A decade later, the company welcomed its biggest class of college-bound women in Uganda to date and continues to grow its impact with artisans around the world.
