My name is Samuel, born and raised in Masaka, Uganda. I spent over ten years working as a boda boda rider in Kampala. I began with a borrowed motorbike, waking up at 5 AM and working until 10 PM. Life was a daily battle. I earned just enough to afford food and rent a small room in Kireka. On days when it rained, I would often go to bed without eating because there was no work. I watched others progress—buying plots of land and starting businesses—while I remained stuck in the same place.

I tried taking soft loans, joined savings groups, and even started side hustles like selling secondhand clothes over the weekend. Still, nothing improved.
