Building Sustainable Solutions
Social Entrepreneurship
CAFU focuses on a social business model to supplement funding sources and mitigate risks of revenue shortfalls by utilising business profits towards achieving organisation objectives. We have reviewed a series of prospective lucrative business ventures which include:
Real Estate Investment
Investing in real estate in Uganda is a very lucrative opportunity for investors seeking to diversify their portfolio. The real estate business in Uganda is rapidly growing and expected to continue growing in the foreseeable future. The increased demand due to high population, government support, favourable investment climate, and high rate of return on investment (10%) presents a great opportunity to investors seeking to diversify their portfolio and gain a return on investment.
This can be done through buying and selling of properties and acquisition of properties for renting. Either way, the returns, security of investment, ease of monitoring and social entrepreneurial gains are exciting.
Agro Processing
Agro processing is a promising sector in Uganda with abundant raw materials, especially coffee, tea, cocoa, macadamia and maize. This is coupled with a growing regional, local and international market.
With the right strategy, investment and execution, CAFU can contribute to economic growth, create jobs, and obtain high return on investment while meeting its core needs of taking care of vulnerable persons and improving livelihoods.
Carbon Credit Through Re-afforestation
Carbon credit business involves helping companies and organisations reduce their carbon footprint by investing in projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
CAFU will undertake to implement carbon credit projects through afforestation, which will mitigate the effects of climate change, generate revenue and create social impact in line with its core objectives.
Eco-Tourism
CAFU has 10 acres of land on Mukono Katosi road that are very conducive for eco-tourism. We are looking for green field investors to execute this project. The estimated budget is USD 300,000.
Programs vs Sustainability & Social Enterprise
CAFU's charitable Programs (Education, Health, Vocational Skills and Community Sensitization) are funded by donations and never generate a financial return. The social enterprise ventures above are a separate, commercial layer: any profits they generate are reinvested to supplement CAFU's funding and strengthen the long-term sustainability of its charitable work. Supporting one does not mean donating to the other.
Partner With CAFU's Sustainability Vision
Whether as a donor, investor or partner, your support helps CAFU build a more resilient, self-sustaining future for vulnerable children and communities across Uganda.
