International Women’s Day is more than just a day spent honouring the phenomenal women around the globe who have achieved great things. For us, it’s a movement celebrating the fact that women now have the ability to move around independently! Driving a car isn’t just a way to get to work – it can be the work. For women around the world, Uber offers something unique: work on demand, whenever you want it. Drivers can make money on their own terms and set their own schedules.
We’re proud to introduce just some of the female faces of Uber in Uganda:
“I look up to single mothers that push themselves every day - they break their backs for their children and that’s amazing. My future goal is to have a big solid business that will not only help me, but also my children's children. My hobbies outside Uber are listening to music, dancing, spending time with family and gyming.” - Judith
"Being independent and working harder every day inspires me. I personally stopped setting goals a few years back, l believe in taking it day by day and that has worked for me. My hobbies are spending time with friends, chatting and ministry in church.” - Ikiriza
"My goal is to be totally independent and to be able to look after my children - making sure that they have everything they need. Having your own business does not put your under any pressure - it’s flexible and you have more time to spend with your family. In my spare time, I have a small shop and sell clothes.” - Grace
"I’m inspired by Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Winnie Byanyima - these are strong and hardworking women that I really look up to. My goal is to study further and open up more businesses. Having your own business gives you the freedom to do whatever you want and Uber opens up doors for you because you’re always meeting new people.” - Zam
Happy International Women’s Day!
