A note from Samuel Ndonga, Co-Founder

Before meeting our Samawati Capital Partners team, please meet the name “Samawati”: It is the Swahili for azure or sky blue.
It is skies—unlimited skies. We believe Africa represents endless opportunities and potential for self-sufficiency if all the available factors of production are well harnessed for the mutual benefit of its people and the different stakeholders, including investors, development partners, businesses, governments, and others that have their own interests but also Africa’s interests at heart.
It won’t be easy—it isn’t easy. That’s why the name “Samawati” also represents, to us, our commitment to challenging the status quo and working with partners to eliminate boundaries and contribute to sustainable growth and development on the continent.
It takes deep knowledge and expertise. I am honored to introduce the core team at Samawati, with skills honed at leading banks, investment banks, asset managers, consulting firms, development organizations, public-sector funds, and PE firms. We are your experienced partners for impact investments and transformative initiatives in Africa.
Cordially,
