As a Ugandan local brand, it’s always been our mission to use innovation and technology to empower local entrepreneurs across the country to achieve even success in what they do. We are thrilled to announce that we are expanding our community beyond SafeBoda riders to include Kampala’s finest street food vendors!

Street food is an important part of a country’s food culture, and we dare say, there’s no street food like Ugandan street food.

From Rolex, TV Chicken, Nyama Choma, Roasted Maize and Kikomando…whatever your street food of choice is, for the first time, you can now order it on the SafeBoda App.

But more importantly, by ordering through the app, you help to build our community of vendors, like Yegu.

Meet our first street food vendor, Yegu!

“My name is Yegu, I come from Iganga. I came to Kampala after my S.6. I was unable to continue because me and my parents did not have money for almost everything . naava waala embeera yali mbii so I started off by looking for a job but I didn’t understand it & was told that I was not capable. (edited)

I used to work with someone else as I kept learning slowly until I was able to make it on my own as a street food vendor for Rolex, Kikomando and Chapati. I have been in business for 2 years now.

I can rent my house and where I work. Kwegamba I can now get myself anything that I want without loans from anyone. Atte now “this new program” where we are available on this SafeBoda app has really increased my customers and is making me even richer!”

Support Yegu and Order Rolex from his business, Rolex Buganda Road, on the SafeBoda App!
