Our Purpose

To empower refugee and host communities to overcome poverty and build sustainable livelihoods through access to finance

Mission

To expand financial inclusion, support high-impact community businesses, and build the skills individuals and entrepreneurs need to achieve economic independence.

Vision

A future where refugee and host communities are economically empowered, financially resilient, and able to thrive with dignity and opportunity.

Our clients are striving to improve three

critical areas of their lives

Close relationships give us a clear understanding of their real needs.

Financial Inclusion

“Many individuals and entrepreneurs lack access to formal banking services. Ubuntu Trust brings financial services closer to communities through village banking, agency banking, and mobile money services.”

Access to Finance

“We support small businesses, traders, and entrepreneurs by providing access to financial services, business opportunities, and affordable products through initiatives like Best Price Duka.”

Community Strengthening

“Strong communities create stronger economies. Ubuntu Trust works with savings groups, local leaders, and community organizations to promote cooperation, financial literacy, and shared development.”

Our sustainable solutions enable people to

move out of poverty on their own terms.

We draw on years of listening, learning, and delivering.
