Ida Horner  grew up in  Idi Amin’s Uganda and the first 20 years of her life were marked by civil wars. Ida left Uganda on a scholarship from the Austrian government to study at Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management and eventually moved to the UK.

Having worked in the Hotel industry for a few years she decided to leave the Hotel industry. Ida enrolled on a degree program in Housing Management and development at Westminster University in London and had a successful career as a District Housing Manager for a London Housing Authority prior to the events of December 2006

In December 2006 Ida went to her native Uganda for Christmas and whilst there she was invited to New Year’s eve party in South West Uganda. she had never been to this part of Uganda and found it difficult to reconcile the beauty of that part of the country with the poverty – she resolved to do something on her return to the UK and the result is Ethnic Supplies

Today Ida is a sought after inspirational speaker who shares her life’s journey with great passion. She has developed an expertise on sustainable development and issues affecting poverty stricken African women.
