Tugende launches in Kenya

We officially launched our first branch in Kenya’s third largest city of Kisumu on 1 November 2019. This kicked-off Tugende’s international expansion outside of its home country Uganda for the first time, and as such is a major milestone for the company.

The occasion was kicked-off at Kisumu Red Cross with a road safety parade followed by a football tournament at Jomo Kenyatta Sports Ground ending with a visit to the new branch.

“When I completed the first lease, I exchanged it for land. I consider Tugende as my family and that's why I've brought most of my friends to join.”

“It would have taken me several years to buy a bike on my own, but Tugende made it quicker for me.”
