Design Kwetu : a pallet woodwork startup in Uganda


The founders Winyi Patrick and Silas Byakutaaga studied Civil Engineering &  Architecture at University respectively. Having been great friends while at University it was a great honor to work together after school to make various wood products.

“The idea came from the opportunity that I and my business partner, Silas Byakutaaga shared a house while at University Of  Dar – Es – Salaam. We had our mattresses on Pallets and also sat on Pallets as we watched Soccer and other Tv programs. When we got back home and jobs were scarce to find we used our ingenuity to create wood works that in turn we would sell and make some money off”, explains Winyi Patrick
