EarthWise Ferries Uganda Limited company profile

EarthWise Ferries Uganda Limited (EarthWise) is a Uganda-based company that provides ferry service on the waterways of East Africa. The mission of EarthWise is to provide passenger and freight service across Lake Victoria connecting the major cities on the Lake and restoring the dormant corridors of economic life that once thrived. Of special interest is reconnecting the two largest cities, Kampala, Uganda and Mwanza, Tanzania, which both have urban populations approaching three million people. These cities are only 200 miles apart with Mwanaz having a rail-head leading to the Indian Ocean coastline. However, there is almost no economic connectivity between Uganda and Tanzania due to the collapse of the ferry system. EarthWise plans to expand to other East African waterways as opportunities become economically viable.
