The All Access Podcast

In this episode of the All Access podcast, I sit down with Haril and Andrea Kizindra from Musana, a newly added partner in our portfolio. Musana's journey from orphanage to a thriving community development organization is truly inspiring. We discuss their sustainable model, focusing on local ownership and social enterprise, which has transformed Ugandan communities. This episode offers a unique insight into how empowering locals can create lasting change and reduce dependency on outside aid.

Key Highlights:
  • Musana's origin story: transitioning from an orphanage to a community development organization in 2011.
  • The importance of local ownership and sustainability in creating resilient communities.
  • Musana's holistic approach through social enterprise—combining education, health, and economic empowerment.
  • The impact of high-quality and affordable services on local communities, attracting external interest.
  • Successful replication of Musana's model across different Ugandan communities, with plans for further expansion.
