The TEDA Youth Enterprise Support Fund (YES Fund) is a community-powered initiative established by the Teso Elites Development Association (TEDA) to unlock the entrepreneurial potential of young people across Eastern Uganda.
It grows through the collective generosity of individuals, corporate organizations, development partners, foundations, philanthropists, the diaspora, and friends who believe in creating opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
The YES Fund is built on a simple belief: when communities invest in young people, young people build stronger communities.
Rather than relying on a single donor, the Fund grows through the collective generosity of individuals, corporate organizations, development partners, foundations, philanthropists, the diaspora, and friends who believe in creating opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Every contribution large or small helps unlock opportunity, inspire innovation, and build resilient local economies.
