Sephora

Sephora, 19, lives in Uganda’s Nakivale Refugee Settlement after fleeing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through the ‘Unleashed’ youth entrepreneur group supported by Opportunity, she received financial training and a loan to develop her products. Spotting a gap in the market, Sephora developed the first reusable sanitary pads to be available in Nakivale, making her a local leader for women’s health and empowering her to pursue her ambitions of growing her business.
I have personally learned many new skills, including design, manufacture, mixing of cosmetic and medical ingredients and marketing. I have many hopes for the future.
