Latek Stay Alliance Uganda

What Latek Stay Alliance Uganda does

Latek Stay Alliance Uganda is a non-profit umbrella organization, registered in December 2016 as the first national chapter of the Stay Alliance International network. Headquartered in Kampala (Busega, Rubaga), it operates with a small staff of 8 and serves approximately 100 member social entrepreneurs working in health, education, and income-generation sectors across Uganda and, through the wider network, Kenya. Members manage their own social enterprises while benefiting from Latek's services: know-how exchange, best-practice sharing, capacity building, training for financial sustainability, and connection to peer social entrepreneurs. All decisions are taken locally through the general assembly, board of directors, committees, and staff, positioning the organization as a self-governed membership network rather than a top-down NGO.

The organization's programmatic portfolio centers on the Stay Seed agricultural initiative, which delivers climate adaptation training, seed distribution, and tree planting (45 seedlings per smallholder family) to rural farmers, with roughly half of participants being women smallholder farmers. It also engages in parental education, gender equality advocacy, and general capacity-building for its members. The business model is membership-based, with revenue primarily flowing from its parent foundation, Stay-Stiftung für multiplikative Entwicklung (Stay Foundation Germany) in Stuttgart, supplemented by membership and program fees; no pricing or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. Marketing and member recruitment occur through the Stay Alliance website, Facebook, YouTube, newsletters (quarterly, including Q1 and Q2 2026 editions), and recurring annual reports (Latek 2024, Latek 2025), reflecting a community-led go-to-motion rooted in local referral networks.
