Episode 3:  The Compassionate Entrepreneurs Club, Tourism Industry, Car Troubles, and Two Markets

Join host Trevor Dyches in this week’s episode of Uplift Uganda as he shares a behind-the-scenes look at his time with the Compassionate Entrepreneurs Club-a group dedicated to empowering U.S. youth (ages 14–18) with entrepreneurial skills and business mindsets, and channeling their efforts into impactful fundraising for literacy and leadership centers in Uganda.Trevor recounts his experiences guiding the club members through Kampala and Gayaaza, highlighting their work at a local literacy center where they taught English and organized games to foster language skills. The episode offers a candid exploration of cultural exchange, as Trevor reflects on seeing Uganda through the fresh eyes of visiting students and how it reignited his own sense of possibility.Listeners get an insider’s perspective on Uganda’s unique economic landscape, from the stark price differences in tourist game parks to the realities of car repairs and the existence of two distinct markets: one for everyday Ugandans and another for those with greater means. Trevor also shares a personal story from attending a traditional funeral rite, illustrating the challenges of healthcare access and the importance of sustainable business in improving lives.This episode is a thoughtful blend of travelogue, economic insight, and cultural reflection, underscoring the mission of Uplift Uganda: to inspire new ways of thinking and doing business for lasting change.Stay tuned for more stories from the road as Trevor continues his journey with the Compassionate Entrepreneurs Club in Jinja.Uplift Uganda is a production of Food for Thought Audio.
