Our Story
Where it began Quiben Ventures Limited was founded in 2013 by a team of young passionate innovators determined to drive meaningful change across East Africa. The idea was born out of a shared vision to bridge gaps in Research and development and optimize resources for impactful change in critical sectors. We recognized the demand for expert, evidence-driven solutions, and our consultancy firm was built with the commitment to providing such solutions—solutions that would create lasting progress in sectors like economic empowerment, disability inclusion, Governance, Financial management, Resource Mobilization, Human resource management, GEDSI integration, and more.
The name behind the firm On a flight back from South Sudan, one of our founders met a man named Quiben - who challenged him to stop seeing African development challenges as problems and start seeing them as concepts waiting to be built. That dream gave us our name, our mandate, and a way of thinking we have never abandoned.
