Meet Yasmin and Forgive, Two of our Master of Data Science students here at UBC and winners of the Mastercard Foundation Social Entrepreneurship Fund (SEF 2024). Yasmin and Forgive are building Vuga. Vuga is a groundbreaking venture dedicated to tackling the financial challenges faced by Ugandan motorists, particularly those impacted by fluctuating fuel costs and irregular cash flow. Vuga offers a comprehensive fuel lending service which allows drivers to refuel on credit, removing the pressure of immediate payment and ensuring they can continue their work without interruptions. This leads to increased operational stability, earnings, and economic resilience. Read more about Yasmin and Forgive here: https://lnkd.in/dG7Hpusi https://lnkd.in/dJZwjMjD
