Here at Barefoot in Business we’re on a mission to empower our fellow female entrepreneurs in Uganda and inspire the next generation here in the UK. Over the course of 8 workshops, we train pupils in the basics of business before challenging them to curate and sell their very own tote bag collections made in Uganda to help fundraise for their schools.

From naming their business all the way through to pricing their products and filming an advert, the teams have complete creative control over the enterprises and, as you’ll see, just like our team in Uganda they mean business!

NOTRE DAME PRIMARY SCHOOL

“We chose the name totally totes because it sounds catchy.  They’re tote bags and they are totally good quality.  You know what we are selling and it rhymes so it gives the feeling of ‘popping’ and gives a nice idea of the bag.”
