We make eco bricks from brick-waste construction material and eco tiles from plastic materials. The available machines are able to produce 5000 bricks / tiles per day or on order but we plan to buy a multi purpose brick/block making machine for ease of use and faster production. We have provided site renovations and proper water waste management solutions for over 117 homes in the past 4 months through various community outreaches. We expect to hit 300 homes by end of 2022. We have recruited over 20 graduates on the team and there is need to build a skilling center for better output and productivity.
Read MoreSustainability and future plans
Each eco brick/tile comes at $0.8-$1 based on the size. We make profits from sales, hired professional services, transport deliveries, the building wallet for savings, and ongoing transactions that amount to about $408k per year. We have received grants and equity free investments worth $150k from various collaborators and competitions. We currently need to raise $350k to buy multi purpose brick/block making machinery, 2 trucks for the eco-brick factory and pay for labour costs. This will increase our production rate by 25% and improve on our brand visibility.
Read MoreYour profile as an entrepreneur
My Name is Ephrance Eunice Namugenyi Founder and Managing Director Kuzimba Services. I am a female entrepreneur born on 03/12/1988 in Uganda. I am a Lecturer at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Kyambogo University and my issue has always been having to teach students in building and engineering school, get them skilled and then graduated only to have them jobless. The Building and construction sector is a competitive male dominated space and so standing out as female leader has taken focus, consistency and resilience. As a result we have won 4 major excellent awards; 2 from HiPipo foundation, 40 days 40 fintechs landscape exhibition and even emerged winners of the 2021 Women in Fintech Hackathon Competition that happens every year in Uganda.

First this is an interesting name Dr Gbogbo. You want to read about the person. Well am glad to hear about your testimony and how you have been helped and you want others to be helped as well across Africa. It is great to know there is lots of people out there that want to help and see others in good health and succeed. Thank you for sharing this great testimony would love to share this as well with other people based on your evidence.
Hello everyone my name is Brenda Clark from Germany. I am on this platform to share my testimony on how Dr Gbogbo helped me shrink my fibroid naturally and gave me some herbal medicines which I use to cure my 6 years of infertility. I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 6 years before I finally met Dr Gbogbo. I had tried several medicines provided by my doctor which all didn't work out and couldn't shrink or get me pregnant. At first when my colleague introduced Dr Gbogbo to me I had a skeptical opinion about African herbal medicines but I had no option than to give it a trial which I did and I got a possible result at the end. I only use it for 2 weeks as directed by Dr Gbogbo. I am a proud mother of twins, This is to every woman suffering from fibroids, pcos and infertility or any health challenge that you're yet to find a solution to. Please meet Dr Gbogbo, He has one of the best herbal medicines from Africa. Thank you all for reading.

Kuzimba is one way to reduce on some stories from some hardware shops .
One reduces on excuses such as of the prices going up, traffic jam, counterfeit products when one chooses such an excellent brand to purchase their material.
AMBROSE JAKIRA

She is a hands on woman and has innovative approaches to projects.

A great idea that not only reduces wastage of construction materials through reclaiming the unused pieces but also coming up with a product that has good strength through the combination of the different percentages of materials
Hello Ms. Namutebi Gladys, your comment is very inspiring. We are here to change the current construction industry practices by providing sustaible, affordable and modern housing solutions. We want to walk with you on the journey to your dreams.
Dear Ruth thank you for the comment. Looking at the SDGs sustainability is key especially in building the foundation of any starting business. It is a long term aspect and is key. We have had to think of eco friendly products like the eco tiles and eco bricks. Not only to make money but also think of the impact.
Bridget Tembo
Kuzimba is definitely one of a kind as it deals with one of the things that greatly affect the environment and the people at large which is waste management preferably from construction materials.
Kuzimba is also accessible and affordable in such a way that services can be ordered from the comfort of my home and also the services can be accessed by every one and thus minimizing accidents due to falling debris at construction sites.
Bridget Tembo
Kuzimba is definitely one of a kind as it looks at one of the things that greatly affect the environment and the people at large which is waste management preferably from construction materials. So two birds are hit with one stone as the natural resources are consumed but not depleted as well as the environment conserved. Kuzimba also provides affordable services as consumers will get quality products but still within their means minimizing on issues such as accidents at construction sites due to poor and not durable materials.
Brenda Biira
Kuzimba Services has come to Uganda at a timely moment where online shopping has picked up pace giving clients the option to purchase building materials from the comfort of their sites or homes. Putting into perspective the traffic Jam in Uganda and the ever increasing prices, solutions have now been provided!

Well done Kuzimba services.
Harlord Kirigoola
We are lacking such creative, objective and visionary minds when it comes to construction in most of the countries in Africa. I strongly believe that what we are being offered by Kuzimba services is that perspective we haven't been having as a nation.
All the best Kuzimba.

Kirabo Patience Wangale
I am excited about Kuzimba Services. Because this world has pretty much become a global village and we are living in the 4th Industrial revolution, I am excited about the fact that there are people, especially women who are leveraging technology to make access to goods and services easier.
I am especially happy about the fact that Kuzimba Services guarantees that your products will reach you safely and will be of the standard quality you ordered. I love that it has a team of not qualified and highly skilled people but these are people whose lives are marked by integrity and the desire to mentor and help upskill the youth in the community.
We need more entrepreneurs like this in the country, the region, and the entire continent who are providing practical solutions to unemployment and now...housing. I can't wait to watch this organization expand and inspire a whole new generation of young entrepreneurs.

IGNATIUS JAMES
Kuzimba Services Is The Best Service Quality I Ever Seen
We Have Many Fraud Services Out There But Kuzimba Services Has Prove It A Point That Its Not About The Clients Money But The Client's Happiness
Viola Mbonyebyombi
This is really a good idea, because many times people have been fruaded with materials which look like what they needed, yet they are fake materials.Now, this is really an answer for many people concerning construction.
Sidra Khan
A great job by Kuzimba Services to come-up with a digital platform to access quality and affordable construction materials. Furthermore products like Ecobricks will help to counter problem of construction waste disposal. With the growing numbers of the homes it has provided solutions for we can see this project has great potential to be huge success!
Juan Pamela

Asiku Roy Alia
Wow, good work. For the sake of our environment, such ideas are needed to pick up the slack from poor urban management and waste disposal. I think you should also invest more time in the root cause of the issues you are trying to solve: Government policy and its implementation.
rebecca mirembe
Am all in for Kuzimba services this patriotic venture and inspiration of our own benevolent leaders is the way to go i am inspired way to go Epphy and Team.
This gives most Ugandans the opportunity to obtain affordable healthy housing, owning a home of choice is what Kuzimba offers the average Ugandan and thats a big deal especially to middle income earners who work majorly for housing and retiring with no place to call a home of their own ,this is a Godly chance to help and empower many lives , by our own with the desired home.

Mark Marvin Kadigo

Mungi
Well it is the first I have heard of construction waste and now I recognize the significance of offering a solution for it. The world especially needs more of such problem solvers. I commend Kuzimba services for the eco-brick initiative !
Alfred Ochola
Kuzimba services is a great building solution to majority of us, even the low income earners. I love the e-wallet that lets us save up money in small chunks with a sole purpose of future building and construction projects. This gives me strong hope that each of us shall own a home very soon. Bravo Kuzimba !
Joseph Olinga Gideon
Kuzimba Services! This is a great opportunity for the current entrepreneur which Am glad to cease. It has given me a hedge to build both business and family premises in the future at a depreciated rate unlike savings and housing insurance at appreciated rates.
Visiting various offers I appreciate the services and wish you all the best dear fellow entrepreneurs.
For this idea, I would give it as many votes as possible, because i have seen her really manage the construction space even though its a male dominated space.. To greater heights and successes. Good luck!!1
Hello there, We have been looking for a better way to solve the construction issue. Its actually hard to get all the work done in a single process and here you are! The world is going to love this one. Well done Kuzimba Services Team. All the best for you!
