Founded by Jeremiah Kuria and Zane Wilemon, Ubuntu Life began with a mission to create a sustainable business model to support children with special needs and their mothers in the Maai Mahiu area of Kenya. The company operates as a for-profit public-benefit corporation, focusing on creating full-time employment, particularly for women ("Maker Mums"), who handcraft a range of products including shoes, bags, and bracelets. The revenue generated from the global sales of these products is used to provide fair wages, fund social impact programs, and deliver life-changing healthcare and education for children through its partner, the Ubuntu Life Foundation.
