Bio:

Ritah Nakandi is a social Entrepreneur that is a great advocate of women empowerment. She is originally from Uganda and came to the US 11 years ago for her graduate studies. While in Uganda, Ritah was in an organization that empowered women to run their small businesses. They educated the women in both rural and urban settings on how to manage their businesses, finances and guided them on opening bank accounts as well as matching them with mico-finance institutions. Presently, she works with women in Buganda and Acholi region. In 2013, Ritah graduated with a Masters degree in Business Management from Cambridge College. Having associated herself with artisans in Uganda, Ritah developed a passion for helping them by finding a market for their handicrafts internationally. Afri-root Collective was concepted to provide a much needed avenue of sales for the unique products handcrafted by these women.
