Juliet Namujju is the founder and CEO of Kimuli Collections, a sustainable fashion label in Uganda. She grew up in poverty as an orphan with her grandmother and was inspired by her grandmother, a tailor, to use cut-offs and plastic waste to produce her own dolls.
She obtained a certificate in fashion and design at age 20 and later joined the Social Innovation Academy (SINA), which empowers marginalized youth to become social entrepreneurs.
With the help of SINA, she founded Kimuli Collections, which transforms waste into fashion and creates employment opportunities for disabled tailors while conserving the environment. Julie has been able to present her up-cycled fashion in Germany at the Bildkorrekturren fair fashion conference 2017, where she won the Ugandan Ye-Community Award 2018.
She became a TEEP Fellow, being awarded by Ban-Ki-Moon as one of the "Global Greenpreneur" winners in Seoul, Korea and Award Winner “Best Young Employer of the Year" in Uganda, as well as a finalist for the 2023 Young Global Changers Re-coupling awards in Germany.
