Fighting Malaria from Gene to Reality
By Roperfree
Roperfree started with an idea of fighting malaria in the Sub-Saharan Africa focusing on Uganda, my family thought that it was a crazy idea! And they could not understand why I should be wasting time and money in venturing into solving problem of malaria when the disease has always been there for ages even before Uganda got independence, it was very serious debate filled with brainstorming and no one in the family could understand why should I waste time and money to fight malaria as its government responsibility to come up with such a solution and implement it. I kept thinking about it and how I could go around, despite the government bureaucracy but I was determined to follow my dreams and after all it was my money and time to invest and above all what I wanted is to save people’s lives from dying or getting malaria whereas I never thought about making money but to focus on saving people’s lives, creating a good legacy and to give back to the most vulnerable people in the community.
Our parents worked hard and taught us a lot on how run business, financial discipline, booking keeping, customer care/service and means to make business to survive in turmoil (such as; the current pandemic) , always our parents wanted to add value on other people’s lives by improving their standard of living.
Our parents started from a humble beginning and became successful entrepreneurs without robbing the bank!
The basic principle of an entrepreneur is having great integrity while making right decision in the best interest of the company based on facts, reality and reason.
They further mentored us good characteristics of an entrepreneur
Being passionate/successful entrepreneurs have passion for what they do
Being busy business savvy: As an entrepreneur, you will need to do everything in your business, at the least at the beginning
Having confidence and believing in yourself
Being self driven and always on time in order to accomplish your goals
Good planner and listener plus always to make research and gather information for best implementation of your business
Having good financial discipline (managing finances)
Not to give up as quitters never win.
A products or service should be solving people’s problems
Entrepreneurs are not just business men/women but they use business skills to solve pending problem in return for money in fact they contribute greatly in improving people’s lives by upgrading their standard of living & condition.
I wish Uganda could embrace & follow suit like; America, Europe or China by encouraging entrepreneurship, industrialization and advanced technological revolution to stimulate the economy and to attain a fair play in global economy.
