What is getting in the way?
People and organisations can miss useful learning, enterprise-development, research and innovation opportunities when access costs, programme capacity and enabling infrastructure are not adequately financed.
New to Goblis Foundation?
What we do, in plain language.
You are supporting Goblis Foundation, a Kenya-based non-profit foundation. Goblis runs two distinct programmes and uses specialist partners where another institution owns the relevant expertise.
01JikimuSocial entrepreneurship support: access, responsible handoff to learning and enterprise development, and later outcome follow-up.02MashinaniRural development support: diagnose a local challenge or opportunity, connect the right actors, then measure what changes.03AfriTrace LinkCross-cutting platform for traceability, evidence and market access. It supports the programmes; it is not itself a programme.04How Goblis worksGoblis coordinates relationships, safeguards accountability and follows evidence. Specialist partners remain responsible for the services they own.
Expand access to practical learning, enterprise development, research and innovation.
The Ubunifu Access & Innovation Fund is a Goblis Foundation-administered restricted fund for agreed Ubunifu Institute activities under executed funding agreements, approved budgets and reporting conditions.
The case for support
Need → opportunity → accountability.
We want supporters to understand the purpose before being asked to pay.
Why does this deserve attention?
Ubunifu is building a connected model spanning founder development, learning, institutional services, market access, research/MERM and innovation. Purpose-defined support can widen access and strengthen capability without confusing Goblis and Ubunifu governance.
What becomes possible?
Support can finance agreed learner access, social-enterprise development, research/MERM, innovation activities, Hub capability or related approved work under a Goblis–Ubunifu agreement.
Who benefits
The people, communities or capabilities this fund exists to strengthen.
Eligible learners, social entrepreneurs, organisations and research/innovation participants reached through specifically agreed Ubunifu activities funded under the governing arrangement.

Goblis responsibility
Who is accountable for the fund?
Goblis receives, restricts, accounts for and reports on this fund under its agreements. Ubunifu remains responsible for the learning, enterprise-development, research or innovation activities it is contracted or funded to deliver.
Institutional boundary
Goblis administers the fund; Ubunifu remains a separate institution.
Funding, delivery, learning authority, data and reporting responsibilities follow the executed agreement. The fund does not merge the two organisations.

Donors & funders
Finance the purpose responsiblyGive to the Goblis-administered fund or establish a structured grant for agreed Ubunifu activities. Large/institutional support should define budget, deliverables, reporting, data/IP and close-out terms.
Give to this fundApplicants / participants
Use the programme route, not the payment routeThis campaign does not create admission to Ubunifu. Learners or founders must use the relevant programme/application journey and meet the responsible institution’s criteria.
Partners
Contribute capability under clear authorityFunders and strategic partners can support defined Ubunifu work through a tripartite or otherwise scoped agreement where authority, finance, data and reporting are explicit.
Discuss a partnershipEvidence boundary
Support enables work; it does not manufacture results.
Ubunifu Institute remains a separate institution. Goblis does not control Ubunifu admissions, assessment, credentials or internal operations merely because Goblis administers a restricted fund supporting agreed work.
Finance, activity, output and outcome evidence remain distinguishable. Goblis does not publish targets as achievements.
Need a larger structure?
Use a fund or funding-partner agreement.
If your support requires a named sub-fund, geographic restriction, multi-year budget, reporting conditions, matching arrangement or organisational portal, start with the structured support route rather than a simple payment.
Fund allocationEvery contribution is allocated to a governed fund ledger.
Payment ≠ impactFinancial reconciliation and impact evidence remain separate.
No guaranteed outcomeSupport enables approved work; evidence determines results.
Human accountabilityConsequential approvals remain attributable to authorised people.
