What we do, in plain language.

Jikimu is Goblis Foundation's Social Entrepreneurship Support Program. Goblis manages programme access, relationships and outcome follow-up; Ubunifu Institute is the principal learning and enterprise-development partner.

Connected enterprise-launch pathwayOpen

Understand Launch Harambee before continuing to Ubunifu Institute.

Launch Harambee is an Ubunifu Institute enterprise-launch support route. Goblis presents this orientation page because it can be relevant to people progressing through the wider Jikimu enterprise journey, but the launch route itself remains owned and governed by Ubunifu Institute.

Start with the case

Understand the need before choosing an action.

Every Goblis campaign follows the same logic so a first-time visitor can understand why the campaign exists and what responsibility follows.

01 · The problem

Why does this matter?

An enterprise may reach a point where the venture model is clearer but a specific, evidence-backed launch need remains. Without a governed route, public support can become disconnected from the enterprise record, the approved purpose and accountable use of funds.

02 · The response

What becomes possible?

Give visitors enough context to understand what Launch Harambee is, when it may be relevant, which institution owns it and what evidence should exist before anyone follows the external Ubunifu route.

03 · Accountability

How will we know?

Ubunifu Institute owns the venture/launch record, eligibility, approved purpose and use-of-funds controls. A Goblis page does not create eligibility, promise selection or convert Launch Harambee into a Goblis fundraising campaign.

Who this is for

Who should pay attention to this campaign?

Eligible ventures that have progressed far enough for Ubunifu Institute to approve a defined launch-support purpose under its own enterprise-development controls.

What Goblis actually does

Our role in the pathway.

Goblis provides orientation where Launch Harambee intersects with the wider Jikimu participant journey. Goblis does not approve the Ubunifu launch purpose, hold the Ubunifu venture record or issue the final Ubunifu launch decision.

What support enables

Examples of responsible use.

01Orientation on the connected enterprise pathway
02Clear separation of Goblis and Ubunifu responsibilities
03Protection against paying the wrong institution
04Evidence-first explanation before an external handoff
05Continued Jikimu follow-up where the participant remains in scope
How the pathway works

Three connected layers.

Launch Harambee should not be a one-click jump from the Goblis Campaign Centre. This page gives donors, applicants and partners the context they need first. The external Ubunifu link is deliberately placed only after the institutional and accountability explanation.

01

Understand the venture stage

Launch support should follow evidence that a venture has reached an appropriate stage.

02

Confirm the approved purpose

A contribution should be linked to a specific, governed use—not a vague promise of enterprise success.

03

Continue to Ubunifu

After reading the full Goblis orientation, use the official Ubunifu link below for the route Ubunifu owns.

Choose your role

What this campaign means for you.

A donor, applicant and delivery partner need different information. These routes keep the next step clear without mixing eligibility, funding and delivery authority.

01

For donors & funders

What support can responsibly finance

If you want to support a Launch Harambee purpose, use the Ubunifu route shown at the end of this page so the contribution remains connected to the venture and purpose that Ubunifu governs. Do not create a Goblis donation for a specifically Ubunifu-owned launch purpose unless Goblis separately publishes an authorised campaign for it.

02

For applicants & participants

How to enter or continue the pathway

If you are a founder or participant, first read this brief and confirm that Launch Harambee is relevant to your stage. The final eligibility and application/support process is determined by Ubunifu Institute.

03

For partners

How an organisation can contribute

Partners can support enterprise-launch capability through the institution that owns the relevant work. Scope, authority, data access and financial flows should be explicit before commitment.

Evidence boundary

What this page does not promise.

Ubunifu Institute owns the venture/launch record, eligibility, approved purpose and use-of-funds controls. A Goblis page does not create eligibility, promise selection or convert Launch Harambee into a Goblis fundraising campaign.

Support can enable a defined activity or capability. Selection, participation, completion, enterprise performance and community outcomes remain separate states and must be evidenced separately.

Before you act

Keep the reference and responsibility clear.

Ubunifu Institute

Continue to the Ubunifu Institute route after reading this brief

Ubunifu Institute is a separate Kenya-based specialist learning and enterprise-development institution. Goblis keeps the Jikimu programme relationship and handoff accountable; Ubunifu owns its learning, assessment, progression and related institutional records. These links explain connected pathways; they do not redirect a Goblis contribution to Ubunifu.

No fabricated countersCampaign totals appear only from governed records.
No guaranteed outcomeSupport enables activity; evidence determines outcomes.
Correct institution firstGoblis and Ubunifu keep separate authority, records and financial routes.
Human accountabilityConsequential approvals remain attributable to people.

Ready to continue with the responsible institution?

The external Ubunifu links above are provided only after the Goblis explanation so applicants, donors and partners understand where responsibility changes.
