Sampling Methodology and the Report’s structure

The sample of 50 respondents were obtained and segregated as follows:

Youth still undergoing training 21 Youth who have graduated 19 Youth employed Total number of respondents

10 50

The team of researchers from South Western Uganda was picked on and gathered the information from 50 respondents by conducting a face to face interview while administering the Questionnaire from the project applicant. The questionnaire was in English language which was by coincidence the National language in Uganda and for those of the respondents who could not understand the English language the researchers translated the questionnaire into the local dialect.

It was agreed upon right from the beginning that the institution Drucilla Balaba Handicraft –Diocese of Kigezi LTD ) was to provide the researchers with the list of the students they have ever trained and those who were still undergoing the training where the respondents would be drawn as a representative sample for the research.

The researchers thus used a purposive and random sampling technique to get the sample of the respondents.

In the process of reaching to the respondents who were now in the family business ventures, the biggest challenge was that several of these respondents were scattered and were not found in one particular location. This was however, addressed by using the telephone contacts provided by the institution and we the researchers would drive to their respective areas of operation to conduct a face to face interview with them and see their business as well.

The researchers also picked respondents from the organizations that network with Drucilla as sample for the male respondents mainly and these organizations were found to be giving and providing similar services in vocational and business training.
