Mon Amie Cakes

Minimize youth unemployment,solve public and personal needs partially,inspire the generation as well as break the negative status core about girls and women.

Coming from a big family of ten, I have witnessed a lot of challanges that youths are trying to battle.

Growin up as a child, I had a cousin who completed university but had no job. This really hurt her and I could hear her cry to friends and suggesting to get married as a way of survival. Relating this to the financial fights my parents could have really hurt my feeling thus boosting my curiosity and love yto solve the need because I knew many families and youths are going through similar situations or even worse.

In 2019, I decided to bring out the entrepreneur in me to address the need. In so doing, I started Mon Amie Cakes not only for myself and family, but for the community and the World at large. With only myself and family support, soon I employed other three youths . I strongly believe that with time, we will employ more and more youths to tackle youth unemployment that leads them to unlawful work like prostitution, thefty and drug abuse.

Mon Amie Cakes is a confectionery business selling baked products like cakes and cookies.We hold a dream of changing many lives of youths and women through employing and inspiring them. As the Mon Amie Cakes is progressing and getting wide, many jobs are created and this also inspires others not to just sit back but to use the available resources to solve the needs.

Youths and women are our target population.Youth unemployment is wide in my community and the end up in dirty jobs like thefty and barggary,prostitution as a way of survival. For the sake of girls, it worse because they end up in early pregnancy and forced in to marriage.

Coming from Africa,women are underlooked and every one believes they are below men and are their to be given everything. However, i strongly disagree with this and believe we can do what men can do.

Some of African culture is still keeping women and girls behind. For the youth,unemployment is the major cause of them engagging in unlawful work.

My employees are entitled to specific work in the business for effectiveness and this is measured by the business manager in my absenceI 

I believe everyone has there own story. Listening to the different stories from people relating it to what is going on my commuinity helps us understand our target populations. This is also done through measuring the successful people were women are few and youths as well.

Coming from a big family of ten, I have witnessed a lot of challanges that youths are facing. I knew many families experience the same or even problems that are worse. 

Growing up as a child, I had a cousin who completed university and was unemployed, this really hurt her and i could hear her cry to friends at night suggesting to get married as a way of survival. Relating this to the financial fights my parents could have boosted my ability and decided to solve the need through doing some thing i love, I started up Mon Amie Cakes which is a confectionery business selling cakes and cookies in Buddo Wakiso district .

I strongly believe my story can inspire and change lives of many youths just like mine did.Employing my fellow youths especially girls has helped them solve their personal needs as well  as break the status core that girls are their to be given.

Since 2019, when I came up with my business, it has been progressing day in-day out and I strongly believe it will operate on a global state one day.

I started a lone but now I employed three youth and I will employ more as the business is progressing and getting wide because its my goal.

Am looking forwad to coming up with an outlet soon that will create a wider market for our products as well as employ more workers. We are also conquering the market of our competitors through supplying our products to Retail shops,schools and individuals. Come next year, we will be supplying bigger businesses like hotels,Supermarkets and cafes.

I higly utilise social media to expand my market as well as acquire knowledge to apply partially in my business for example the new cake designs.

I currently reach 120 customers on average per month. I plan to reach 200 customers minimum next year. I have three employees but i will have eight employees by next year as well as having another outlet.

My competitors are full-fledged bakeries with more than 4 outlets and supplying vehicles while we have less compared to their business assets.

Since our competitors admire and requested for the business recipe due to the delicious cakes that we bake, we stand a fear of taking our skilled employees in order to get our recipe.

The business is not under any partnership.
