In 1999 a Ugandan teacher decided to start her own school. Barbara Ofwono Buyondo had $350 of savings. Bankers would not give a loan without collateral, especially to a young woman.

Over 4,000 fee-paying pupils attend its five campuses, swept up by a fleet of branded buses and welcomed by primly uniformed teachers.
