The city of Kampala in Uganda will host the second annual Stability & Sustenance business summit scheduled to take place on the 7th and 8th of August this year.

The business summit, a brainchild of Melody Fidel Okwuazu, Nigeria’s international entrepreneur-missionary will be organised by the East and West African mentees of Stability & Sustenance who are largely concentrated in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, Benin Republic, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ghana.

This second edition of the Stability & Sustenance business summit themed, empowering African entrepreneurs; building stable and sustainable futures through entrepreneur education, is expected to provide theoretical and practical business solutions, growth and scalability.

The speakers and mentors at this year’s summit includes business professionals, coaches and investors from United Kingdom, Nigeria, Uganda and other countries.

Leading the speakers track is United Kingdom based investor and businessman, Rishi Harani, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Univesco Limited. Others are Jesca Ahimbisibwe, Director, Women in Film Organisation Uganda; Dorothy Nabunjo, Director, Karizm/Xenson Art Space; Melody Fidel, Founder, Stability & Sustenance; Judith Onwerumaru, Chief Executive Officer, Stability & Sustenance among others.
According to Judith, “Over the years, we have developed a viberant African community of entrepreneurs and creatives through our various virtual and online programmes. It is fulfilling today that we are having a physical and practical conference in Uganda where hundreds of our mentees are in charge of the planning, coordination and execution of the various activities.”

Participants and beneficiaries of the business summit will include SME owners, startups and creatives, entrepreneurs, students, freelancers, content creators, NGOs, donors, policy actors, civic leaders and more.

In his statement, Melody stated that, “the team is excited to be in Uganda. The Stability & Sustenance summit is a dynamic 2-day gathering designed to empower SMEs, entrepreneurs, creatives, and institutional leaders with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to build sustainable businesses and systems.”

“Stability & Sustenance business summit is more than a conference. It’s a marketplace of ideas, strategy, and partnership. Whether you’re building from scratch, scaling up, or reshaping policy and community impact, this is the platform where direction meets action as we are resolute in developing sustainable entrepreneurship across Africa,” Melody explained.

In 2024, Stability & Sustenance held its maiden annual business summit in Abuja, Nigeria where hundreds of participants benefitted as mentees – receiving business grants and continuous mentorship.
