My team had a great fortune to work with Joan form a Ugandan start-up Uganics. She provided us with their financial plan which we immediately started analyzing and suggested improvements. Still, we got a complete picture during the first online meeting with Joan who explained to us that Uganics is producing different kinds of organic soap used against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. They also employ difficulty employable women which strengthens local communities in Uganda. Researching the economic and political situation in Uganda, it is not difficult to see great positive influence Uganics has, both locally and globally. For example, the fact that in Uganda 16 people pass away daily as a consequence of malaria brings you a new perspective. This was an additional motive for my team and me to contribute as much as we can to Uganics. At that moment I realized the importance of "numbers" as an essential foundation for realization and implementation of great and inspirational ideas.
