is a young mother, leader, farmer and an entrepreneur. She completed ordinary school level with a Uganda Certificate Education (U.C.E) from Bulemezi Senior Secondary School. Unfortunately, she became pregnant before joining college and she was forced to drop out of school. Nevertheless, Teddy has not given up with her dreams regardless of her education level. As a single parent, she has set up a mobile money retailing business and she grows maize and bananas so as to earn a living. Teddy is also the current vice chairperson for Zirobwe Kalagala Youth Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd. This position has nurtured her to speak out and share opportunities and platforms with men and women of influence. Her mission in this co-operative is to become the chairperson and later become women councillor for her district as a political leader. Teddy advises women to actively participate in all value chains of agriculture and she always reminds the girls to take up every opportunity to focus on completing their education instead of hanging out with “bad boys” while at school. Teddy plans to use the smart projector to increase on the percentage of the co-operative members who are transiting from conventional to organic farming.
