95. VIJANA POA INITIATIVE
A BRIEF ABOUT ROTARY VIJANA POA
Rotary Vijana Poa is a program initiated by Robert Waggwa Nsibirwa, the Governor District
9211 2015/16 to mobilize, inspire and empower youth to engage them into work and realize
their potential thereby curbing the increasing unemployment levels in Uganda and Tanzania.
We aim at providing youth with employable skills to enable those who seek employment
and entrepreneur skills to enable them to create and innovate, and professionalize their
businesses for self-sustainability.
During its inaugural year (2015/16), out of the 121 clubs in the district, 36 have already initiated
projects and internships to create employment. Over $28,771 has been invested by Rotarians to
train and fund enterprises. 934 have been trained. 119 enterprises started. 41 internships offered.
And as a result, 817 youths have been employed in the process. If we look at the money invested
and the number of jobs created; it amounts to an average of $36 per job created.
