EXCELLENCE TESTED, EXPECT THE BEST
Trainings & Semminars
In July 2021, Kamaala Enterprises was proud to host several international experts to train and provide education to Mbale town residents and our nearby communities. These international experts all have United Nations Sustainable Development Goals training and provided a wide range of education. These include: Agricultural, Business, Emergency Medical, Job safety (OSHA) education, and tourism education.
Agricultural training
Organic agriculture has much higher rates of income, with farmers on average making 22-35% more than those in conventional agriculture. Organic farming methods remove the need for chemicals and other products, favoring nature-based solutions. Our business consultant will provide free knowledge on organic farming practices in the following areas:
Omni-directional income education seeks to help farmers by opening up new markets. This course helps farmers to seek as many ways as possible to sell every crop they grow. Every crop can be used in multiple ways to make or save a farmer money.
Companion planting is a short strategy of the planting of different crops in close proximity of one another during the same harvest for a number of different reasons. These include: pest control, pollination, providing a habitat for beneficial insects, maximizing use of space, and increasing crop productivity.
Row crop farming is a strategy in which seeding and planting is done in rows wide enough to allow it to be tilled and serviced by agricultural machinery or employees tailored for specialized crops. Row farming requires extra planning and specialized seeding techniques, but allows farmers to heavily reduce the amount of water, chemicals, fertilizers, and seeds per acre.
Succession planting is the strategy of field management which allows farmers to grow crops back-to-back in a rapid fashion. After a few months of preparation, this allows a farmer to be able to grow crops on a weekly basis. This requires a high amount of education and planning, but can lead to weekly harvests and a very stable source of income.
There are 20 types of crops that grow in 20 – 60 days. This means that any farmer can plant a seed and, in 20 to 60 days, can have food available for the market! This strategy can help a farmer create a stable income and provide a sustainable food supply for his or her community.

The top three leading causes of work-related injuries – overexertion and bodily reaction, slips, trips and falls, and contact with objects and equipment – account for more than 84% of all nonfatal injuries.
Our business and medical experts will provide education on how OSHA practices can greatly decrease work related injuries while helping to increase a business profit.
Non-impact injuries: results from excessive physical effort directed at an outside source; common activities include lifting, pushing, turning, holding, carrying, or throwing.
Repetitive motion: microtasks resulting in stress or strain on some part of the body due to the repetitive nature of the task, typically without strenuous effort such as heavy lifting.
Biological injury: these include bleeding, burns, or anything to wit that would expose a person to biological containments or contagions.
Slips and trips without falling: Injuries occurring when a worker catches him/herself from falling due to slip or trip.
Falling on the same level: Includes tripping, slipping, falling while sitting, and falling onto or against an object on the same level.
