Welcome to Sawubona.

We are driven by desire

We have a burning passion to support entrepreneurs, governments, and development partners to develop solutions that are technically feasible, commercially viable and socially impactful.

Since our founding in 2012, our approach has been to look beyond grim statistics, to create compelling market-driven solutions that improve development outcomes on the continent. This is based on our belief that market-based initiatives led by the private sector are critical to any progress that will be made on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
