In this heartfelt first episode, 22-year-old Trevor Dykes introduces the mission behind Uplift Uganda. With a blend of personal experience, business insight, and spiritual conviction, Trevor shares the story of how a missionary call to Uganda became the spark for a greater purpose.

He unpacks his goals for returning—this time not as a missionary, but as a partner seeking to build sustainable business solutions that empower Ugandans. From exploring lease-to-own models and retail ventures to connecting Ugandan entrepreneurs with American consumers, Trevor dives into the practical strategies and moral questions behind doing good better.

Joined by inspiration from social impact mentors like BYU’s Aaron Miller, Trevor explains why he’s not there to "save," but to learn, collaborate, and uplift—both himself and the community that once uplifted him.

Discover the three cities he’ll be working in, the kinds of ventures he’s considering, and why this isn’t just a humanitarian trip—it’s a calling. Weekly updates, interviews, and stories of trial, growth, and miracles to come.
