About us
Our story started as an MBA thesis for one of the Founder in 2008, and was inspired by the economic depression which saw many NGOs close or shrink due to inability to access grants to deliver on their mission. This background caused increased pressure on NGOs in Uganda and Africa at large, thus heads had to come together to think of alternative funding models to deliver social good.
Capital Solutions Ltd (CSL) is a Social Enterprise incorporated in Uganda in 2008 but started operations in 2014 with a purpose to inspire, transform and build capacity of social entrepreneurs working with low-income communities in Africa. CSL provides high quality services to build sustainable social enterprises through improved financial accessibility and designing innovative and impactful solutions. We have a niche in building and transforming Women-led and Youth-led social enterprises in Africa.
We provide a 360-degree approach to work where we have created a ready platform for social entrepreneurs mainly Youth and women by providing entrepreneurial skills, advisory services to create sustainable enterprises, access finance, and create innovative economic, agricultural and health solutions to support the most pressing social needs. We run a social investment fund (SIF) accessed by small and medium social entrepreneurs in Africa. This has demonstrated that small amounts of equity capital and matching grants, combined with entrepreneurial capacity building can result in thriving enterprises that serve vast numbers of the most vulnerable populations.
