Update on Afrinspire Young Entrepreneurs

One of our Afrinspire Young Entrepreneurs, Rebecca Ashantu, has stepped out of her comfort zone by obtaining a listing for her product on Jumia. Jumia is an on-line shopping platform which came from Nigeria to Uganda and is developing its range of products.

Here is one of the first deliveries arriving with one of our other young entrepreneurs. But no sooner are sales being made than there is a stock issue. So Rebecca is meeting her first challenge to keep Jumia supplied. We wish her well as she breaks this frontier.


The main point is that this product is delicious, so it can be sold and bought with confidence, as the Afrinspire Young Entrepreneurs know from our conferences when this product has been on display.


The most recent day conference for the young entrepreneurs was in Kampala on 29th February 2020. The theme was 'Making the Numbers Work', getting to the heart of how to design and run a business and understanding it from a numbers point of view.


The syllabus is designed by the delegates who plan ahead to our next conference. We constantly draw in new delegates to learn from the experiences of those who have advanced and become successful in their projects.

As well as much serious learning and discussion about business and income generating activities, we also carried out a role play game where we arranged ourselves in power order. Each delegate played a role where their characteristics were developed and they saw their power rise and fall as compared to everyone else in the room. This provided two teams of African delegates, playing roles from UK and Africa, with a greater insight as gender, wealth, age and position in society altered their power.


The Afrinspire Young Entrepreneurs is a movement which started in 2013 and continues to expand.

How Aluminum Hydroxide Supports Environmental Safety


Aluminum hydroxide is a widely used chemical compound with the formula Al(OH)₃. Known for its antacid, flame-retardant, and filler properties, it plays a crucial role in healthcare, manufacturing, and various industrial processes.

What is Aluminum Hydroxide?

Aluminum hydroxide is a white, odorless, crystalline powder that occurs naturally as the mineral gibbsite. It is amphoteric, meaning it can react with both acids and bases. This unique property makes it highly versatile for diverse applications.

Uses of Aluminum Hydroxide

  • Pharmaceuticals: In medicine, aluminum hydroxide is commonly used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach. It neutralizes excess stomach acid and provides quick relief. It is also an ingredient in some vaccines as an adjuvant, helping…

Gene amplification technologies refer to molecular biology techniques used to increase the number of copies of a specific DNA sequence. These methods are essential for detecting, analyzing, and manipulating genetic material in research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The most commonly used gene amplification method is the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which enables exponential amplification of DNA through cycles of denaturation, annealing, and extension. Other techniques include loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), rolling circle amplification (RCA), and nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA). These technologies are highly sensitive and allow for the detection of even trace amounts of genetic material, making them invaluable in clinical diagnostics, forensic science, and biotechnology.

Advancements in gene amplification technologies have significantly impacted genomics, enabling real-time and high-throughput applications. Quantitative…
