When You Grow, Uganda Prospers: Customers Reflect on Growth with Pearl Bank
-When Christopher Mugwanya started Clever’s Origin Schools in 2005, he had no capital to speak of. What he had was determination and experience as a teacher. Building a school from that starting point would require more than hard work; it would also require financial support to turn an ambition into a sustainable enterprise.
Nearly two decades later, Mugwanya says his partnership with Pearl Bank, formerly PostBank, has helped the school expand, overcome setbacks and establish additional branches.
