Organisation: Tugende
Duty Station: Kampala,
Uganda
About US:
Tugende is a for-profit social enterprise that helps motorcycle taxi
drivers in Uganda own their own motorcycles via a fair, transparent

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

even without credit histories, collateral, and in industries considered high
risk by traditional lenders.
