Poverty and unemployment rates are on the rise in Uganda, despite decades of traditional aid pouring into the country. More than a quarter of African countries have more poverty now than ever before. Additionally, 90% of Ugandan youth entering the job market are currently unemployed. However, Uganda has been deemed the entrepreneur capital of the world though most businesses fail in the first three years. Einstein Rising created the Social Enterprise for Africa (SE4A) program in reaction to this gap between the number of businesses created in the country and the extremely high failure rates. The social business accelerator program includes coursework and mentorship to support social entrepreneurs free of charge. Local entrepreneurs utilize local resources to move their communities out of poverty as they build wealth and an inclusive economic system in the free market. The concept of the triple bottom line – planet, people, profit – drives each business. Einstein Rising has developed a team that provides an infrastructure of support from start to finish and makes financial investments of $5,000- $10,000 into the strongest businesses. In return, Einstein Rising receives a 10% return on gross profits annually which provides funding for development programs and outreach.
