Our Structure

Founder & Team Lead
On a volunteering trip to Uganda in 2010, Leo realised that the most impactful parts of the experience were the friendships and collaborations with peers also looking to create sustainable change. 

After graducating from Oxford in 2013 with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, he  relocated to Makerere University’s Nsibirwa Hall in Uganda to start United Social Ventures.

He’s lived in Uganda ever since – now  with his wife, Esther. His work has won him recognition as a Young Person of the Month on Opportunity Desk, a 2016 YouthActionNet Global Fellow, and a 2018 Praxis Emerging Founder.

Who We Are

Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod empor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
