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.

BUSINESS SKILLS
We teach the girls: business idea generation and actualisation, basic book
keeping principles and about money, saving, credit, trust, customer care
and marketing skills.
VOLUNTEER FOR A PURPOSE- VFP
This is an initiative where we welcome One volunteer at any one time, for
Skill imparting volunteers not in Mindset’s locality, Mindset offers to provide

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.
9
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
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
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.

We follow-up on our girls and most of them are self-employed especially

partners Tools With A Mission, UK (TWAM), also previous year Trainee
graduates once employed in current year we indicate it.
15
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.
