About US:
Tugende is a for-profit social enterprise that helps motorcycle taxi
drivers in Uganda own their own motorcycles via a fair, transparent
lease-to-own model instead of renting indefinitely. Ownership significantly
increases income, job security and road safety. Across Uganda and many other
emerging markets, motorcycles help drive the economy, mitigate traffic jams and
bad roads, and offer hundreds of thousands of jobs for those with little formal
education. Tugende is proving that millions of self-employed entrepreneurs can
receive credit to own the equipment they use to provide for their families,
even without credit histories, collateral, and in industries considered high
risk by traditional lenders. We currently serve over 3,862 customers in
Kampala, Mbarara, Jinja, and Mbale. We plan to expand to at least 10 locations
in Uganda over the next 1-2 years and then to regional neighbours which may
include Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and South Sudan.
