Gudie Leisure Farm to Host the PELA Savings and Loans Associations Cottage Industry Conference

At the parish level, the business activities of Youth Agripreneur Champions are coordinated by the Parish Entrepreneurship Learning Associations (PELAs), which were established with support from Gudie Leisure Farm. PELAs play a crucial role in mobilizing and organizing youth into business groups to collaboratively meet market demands. They also provide valuable insights into the business environment, helping leaders and management teams make informed decisions.

The Parish Entrepreneurship Learning Associations (PELAs) is a Village Saving Loan Associations (VSLA) where we have 873 PELAs with a net portfolio of 2.5 billion UGX. VSLAs continue to be the predominant sources of credit.
