In Uganda's capital, Kampala, there are over 100,000 street vendors who make a living selling street food and drinks. It's a hard life that the social enterprise busana wants to make easier. They provide street vendors with a cart tailored to their needs every busana. The cart is equipped with a solar panel. It allows vendors to power a fridge and a mobile phone charger, and that creates additional income streams. The carts are also equipped with environmentally friendly stoves and thanks to the light bulb, vendors can work longer. Musana says by using the carts, the vendors could double their income. USANA cards are available in Kampala from November and will cost $600. It's a great deal all around.
