OUR JOURNEY 

In March 2017, Ruy B.A. Camargo and Daniel Storm, business partners in international market expansion, ventured to the "Nairobi Innovation Week" at the University of Nairobi in Kenya. 

With a keen interest in uniting global business and social ventures through a blended approach, recognizing agriculture's pivotal role in community resilience and broader social and environmental effects.

During a panel at the event, William N. Gitau discussed with international scholars and academics, agriculture's influence on community stability, health, and youth employment, citing his grassroots initiative, HELITECH Agri-Campaign CBO, just 50km north of Nairobi. 

Intrigued by William's dedication and vision, Ruy and Daniel engaged him post-session, scheduling a visit to William's community.

Said and done, a few days later, they journeyed to meet William’s team, local farmers, and families, witnessing the transformative work being done despite significant challenges and constraints. Inspired, they conceived a social impact incubator, meshing their vast business acumen with social innovation and financing.

Over the following months this collaboration eventually gave birth to UNATHI, leading to the establishment of an "UNATHI Social Enterprise" in Switzerland in summer 2018, while preparing first projects spanning agriculture, health, and education, to be implemented with partners across East Africa and Brazil.
