Ubuntu Trust connects refugee and host communities with practical opportunities to build income, resilience, and long-term prosperity.
Across the communities we serve, families consistently tell us they want three things: stable livelihoods, protection from future shocks, and better opportunities for their children. Ubuntu Trust supports that journey through financial inclusion, enterprise development, and community capacity building.
We help entrepreneurs, traders, farmers, and youth access the financial tools they need to grow sustainable businesses. We also strengthen savings groups, community networks, and local enterprises that provide essential services where opportunity is limited.
We have always believed that when people are trusted with the right support, they create lasting change for themselves and for others. Ubuntu Trust is committed to ensuring women, youth, refugees, and underserved families can access the resources they need to thrive with dignity.
Bringing financial services closer to communities.
Many hardworking individuals remain excluded from formal banking systems. Distance, cost, and limited infrastructure often prevent families and businesses from saving securely or accessing useful financial products.
Ubuntu Trust helps close that gap through village banking, agency banking, mobile money services, savings groups, and community-based financial literacy programs.
By combining trusted local relationships with practical tools, we make financial services more accessible, more affordable, and more relevant to everyday life.
Through our financial literacy initiatives, more than 5,000 community members have been reached with practical knowledge, awareness, and tools to improve financial decision-making and strengthen household resilience.
We have connected over 1,500 small entrepreneurs to inclusive finance opportunities, helping them access support systems, financial pathways, and growth-oriented business opportunities within their communities.
Our goal is to achieve more than 90% growth in active community savings participation by strengthening trust, financial inclusion, and long-term engagement in community-based savings initiatives.
Supporting businesses, farmers, and entrepreneurs to grow.
Small businesses are the backbone of local economies, yet many entrepreneurs struggle to access capital, reliable markets, and affordable products. Without these opportunities, growth remains out of reach.
Ubuntu Trust supports enterprise growth through financing pathways, market linkages, business mentorship, and practical initiatives such as Best Price Duka and community business partnerships.
From market vendors and youth startups to farming households and women-led enterprises, we help people turn effort into income and ambition into progress.
Over 2,000 entrepreneurs have been supported through training, mentorship, access to networks, and practical business growth opportunities.
More than 500 businesses have been connected to new markets, partnerships, finance pathways, and growth opportunities.
Over 1,000 jobs have been strengthened or created through enterprise support, market expansion, and inclusive economic opportunities.
Building stronger people, stronger businesses, stronger communities.
Economic opportunity grows fastest where communities are organized, informed, and connected. That is why Ubuntu Trust invests in people—not only projects.
We work with savings groups, local leaders, cooperatives, youth groups, and entrepreneurs to strengthen leadership, improve business skills, promote cooperation, and encourage shared development.
Training, mentorship, peer learning, and local partnerships help communities solve problems together and create systems that last beyond any single project.

Creating better systems for tomorrow.
Communities are changing quickly, and development solutions must evolve with them. Ubuntu Trust explores practical innovations that improve access, reduce barriers, and create wider opportunity.
This includes digital finance pathways, smarter community service models, enterprise acceleration, and scalable systems that help underserved communities participate fully in the economy.
We test what works, learn from the people we serve, and expand successful ideas for greater long-term impact.
