Fruit And Other Trees Nursery Kizima
UYDNET fruit and tree nursery was started by a group of youths to germinate varieties of fruit and tree seedlings with scarce seeds to enable farmers in the areas of Mukono and the country over access quality tree seedlings.
UYDNET fruit and tree nursery germinates lemons, oranges, mangoes, passion fruits, tomatoes, coffee seedlings, and a variety of other trees like eucalyptus tree, muvule among others.
After realising the growing fruit juice industry in Uganda, and realizing that fruit growing was still low in Uganda and the fact that most of the fruit industries in Uganda were importing fruits from neighbouring countries like Kenya; all these compiled with research findings, we realized that if communities in Uganda were to benefit from the growing fruit industries, farmers in Uganda needed to increase on the level of production of fruits, these could be bought by fruit industries as raw materials and farmers could benefit from money paid for their fruits to increase their demand levels.

Music Dance & Drama
Several challenges were identified by UDYNET including:
1. High unemployment rate among the youth
2. Stigma associated with HIV/AIDS
3. Limited funds due to lack of access to funding opportunities
4. Inadequate materials for music, dance and drama
5. Poor training system due to lack of costumes to the participant which leads youth to be away from the group and go back to risk areas.
Apart from challenges, we also learned youth involvement in drama could develop them from one level to another in which builds them a good foundation for togetherness.
