The Beginning
Meet Joan Nalubega, the visionary founder and CEO of Uganics. Joan's journey to combat malaria began with a personal mission - as a child, she faced the harsh reality of Malaria multiple times during her childhood. But instead of letting it define her, she turned it into her mission. She endured through the challenges hoping that one day, she will work to find a solution to the very problem sought to define her childhood.
Joan's journey took her to the Social Innovation Academy, where she embraced the world of social entrepreneurship. She went on to pursue a solution to fight malaria in underprivileged communities through affordable and accessible means.
In 2018, Joan's vision came to life with the founding of Uganics Repellents LTD in Kampala, Uganda.
Vision & Mission
Our core mission is to incorporate a mosquito repellent product into everyday use for the most vulnerable members of our communities. We believe that malaria protection must be safe, affordable, and accessible to everyone without needing any form of behavioral changes.
Our Vision is to create a Malaria-free world.
About Our Company
We are a social enterprise fighting malaria in Uganda and beyond by incorporating mosquito repellent into easy-to-use everyday products like soap.
Our mission is to not only defend against mosquito bites and malaria, but also support women in rural Uganda, empowering them to create a better future for themselves and their families. By purchasing from Uganics Online Store, you are contributing to this noble cause and making a difference in the lives of these women who have come together to create Uganics products.
The Brand
At Uganics, we are passionate about providing effective mosquito repellent products that not only protect you and your loved ones, but also makes a positive impact on the lives of others. Our range of products including soaps and candles are carefully crafted with natural ingredients farmed and processed in Uganda.
Our commitment to quality and effectiveness is unwavering. We understand the importance of providing products that truly work, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to enjoy your outdoor activities without the nuisance of mosquitoes. Our mosquito repellent soaps have been carefully formulated to provide maximum protection, ensuring that you can fully embrace the beauty of nature.
Impact
We sell our organic mosquito repellent products with high margins at resorts, lodges and high-end hotels to tourists looking for a natural way of preventing mosquito bites during their trips. We are then able to cross finance and subsidize our sales to rural mothers at the same price as ordinary soap. Our soap makes an impact leveraging an everyday consumer product to fight malaria.
Each bar of soap sold creates an opportunity for Ugandan families to protect themselves and their children against one of the biggest killers in Uganda.
Join us in our mission to protect and empower. By choosing Uganics soap, you are not only investing in high-quality mosquito repellent products, but, making a positive impact on the lives of rural women in Uganda. Soap that you purchase supports families across the country who don't have access to preventative measures for malaria. Together, we can create a world where everyone can enjoy the outdoors without the fear of mosquito-borne diseases.
