We partner with entrepreneurs, communities, governments, and development actors to unlock innovation, accelerate entrepreneurship, and build inclusive local economies in Africa
Tuku-Tuku Innovation Labs was founded with one goal: to make ideas grow. Inspired by the Tugu tree—resilient, resourceful, and native to Northern Uganda—we help individuals and institutions turn inspiration into action and impact.
With roots in community and eyes on global standards, we're building the future from the ground up.
We work across three core pillars to catalyze a vibrant future through programs that blend grassroots insight, bold creativity, and systems thinking.
We help NGOs, development agencies, and social enterprises design, deliver, and scale high-impact programs.
