Communauts Making Tourism Work For All

Communauts is a social enterprise which aims for facilitation of livelihood improvement for rural communities while conserving the environment. We develop attractive, sustainable and high quality products with community groups and market them to hotels, lodges, souvenir shops and other buyers. Communities gain a reliable source of additional income, the tourism industry gets access to local value chains, natural ressources are protected while tourists benefit from authentic and unique Ugandan products. Our products bring out the best of Uganda: they are fair, sustainable and carefully handcrafted by rural communities. We merge local crafting traditions with modern designs, in a co-creative process of designers and communities. Our first portfolio of products is currently under development. Basket weaving, paper-making and ceramics are some of the techniques in use. In addition, we will set-up a product range based on agricultural produce for daily use in hotels and as souvenirs. Communauts Ltd is founded and led by a team of Ugandan and international experts united by the mission to make tourism work for all. We build on existing know-how and on partnerships with complementary initiatives. Want to help make tourism work for all? We invite you to join forces with us in order to bring sustainable change to Ugandan communities and protect the environment!
