Tugende is a Social Business that helps mototaxi drivers double their incomes by owning their motorcycles. They have helped over 18,000 motorcycle taxi drivers with higher incomes, including the drivers’ families, that’s over 85,000 people.

YSB is thrilled to announce our partnership with Ingka Group (the largest IKEA retailer) and IKEA Social Entrepreneurship B.V. to launch the Social Enterprise Partnership Programme (SEP). The programme supports local social enterprises to scale their existing businesses and create more inclusive and sustainable communities while meeting IKEA business needs.

We spoke to Molly Burke co-founder of Cycle Connect, our latest investment in our Ugandan Fund. Cycle Connect provides rural smallholder farmers with the necessary tools to propel them out of poverty.

So, here we are. The time for change and personal re-shaping through resolutions is upon us already. But this doesn’t just mean an opportunity for personal improvement, it also means a time for professional self-development too.
