OUR STORY

The U.K.I Company

The U.K.I Company has revolutionized the way people support and invest in African initiatives. By harnessing the power of the internet and social media, the platform has connected a diverse range of entrepreneurs, artists, and social activists with a global audience eager to contribute to positive change in Africa. This newfound accessibility has empowered countless individuals to turn their dreams into reality, whether it's launching a small business, funding a community-driven project, or supporting local artisans. The U.K.I Company is not only bridging financial gaps but also fostering a sense of unity and collaboration among Africans and their global supporters, creating a brighter future for the continent through collective action.

GLOBAL CROWDFUNDING BIAS

As seen above there are barely any Collaborative Financing for creatives and the ones available pay little or no attention to Africa as a whole. Take Kickstarter for instance, there is no option for Africa in the creator selection.
