Purpose-Driven Lending: Furaha’s Vision for Transforming Education Finance In Uganda After a distinguished career spanning over two decades at Standard Chartered Bank, which, amongst other achievements, includes leading teams that built nine digital banks for the global bank, Yustus Aribariho returns home to Uganda to build Furaha, an education-focused digital lending platform. Furaha is a financial technology platform that focuses on purpose-driven lending. In Uganda, Furaha has chosen to kickstart its focus on the education sector by assembling an ecosystem that connects more than 14,000 schools, banks, telcos, school payment aggregators and credit bureaus to plug into the Furaha platform and process school fee loans.
