Dfcu Bank started its seventh Rising Woman program with Monitor Publications at Kampala's Mestil Hotel. The campaign has helped over 60,000 women face-to-face since 2018. Former Agriculture Minister Victoria Sekitoleko praised her parents for letting her go to school when many girls could not. She urged business owners to invest in themselves because each step creates lasting change for Uganda.

S&L Advocates partner Winnie Awino taught women how to protect business assets during the event. She shared tips about legal business structures with more than 100 women who came to learn. Dr. Gudula Naiga Basaza from the DFCU Women Business Council said women run families, change communities, and build the economy. Dfcu became the first Ugandan bank to offer women-focused banking in 2007.

The program offers female entrepreneurs money advice, business training, legal help, and networking opportunities. This year, it features five regional classes, a business contest with 30 million shillings in prizes, an expo, and an awards dinner. To join, businesses must have at least half female owners or 30 percent women leaders. Past winners cannot enter again this year.
