For training organisations across the world
Together, we lift each one.
Ubunya runs your programmes, cohorts and community in one place, from the first application to the alumni network. Under your name, on your address, paid by invoice.
Built for organisations that train people in cohorts
Leadership academies
Flagship programmes with an application, an intake, sessions over months, and a graduation.
See how it worksMoney and skills schools
Several programmes running side by side, each with its own cohorts, classes and alumni.
See how it worksCorporate training
A company sends ten staff and pays for all of them. Each learner still gets their own seat.
See how it worksEverything a cohort needs
From the first application to graduation, everything your team and your learners need in one place.
Your own address
Your community lives at ubunya.com/yourname from day one, or on your own domain (for example learn.yourname.org).
Your brand
Your logo for light and dark pages, your colour (checked so text stays readable), and your default theme.
One sign-in everywhere
Learners sign in once with Google or email, and move between communities without signing in again.
Roles for your team
Owners, admins, facilitators and finance staff, each seeing only what their job needs.
Pay us by invoice
No card needed. We send a PDF invoice in your currency; you pay by bank transfer or M-Pesa.
Programmes and intakes
Application forms, a review queue, acceptance and waitlists for every programme and every intake.
Courses and live sessions
Courses with video lessons and progress, a calendar in each person's time zone, and email reminders.
Squads
Split a cohort into squads, each with its own chat. Message one squad or all of them, and crown a winning squad.
Community and points
A feed for everyone and each cohort, likes that earn points, levels and leaderboards.
Attendance that works offline
Facilitators mark the register on a phone with no signal; it syncs when they are back online.
Fees and instalments
Set a fee and an instalment plan. Learners and sponsoring companies pay you directly, by bank, M-Pesa or cash, with no card gateway in between. Your team records each payment; learners see their balance, receipts and invoices.
Certificates
Certificates in your colours with a QR code that anyone can scan to check them.

Made for how training really runs
Ubunye is Zulu for unity. The three dots over the U are learners held up by the community around them.
- Offline payments
- Bank transfer, M-Pesa, cheque or cash. Nothing goes through a card gateway.
- Every currency
- 154 currencies, picked from where you are and changeable at any time.
- WhatsApp and email
- Reminders and announcements where your learners already read them. Email, WhatsApp and SMS.
- Light on data
- Pages stay small and work on a basic phone. Video that adapts to the connection comes next.
Questions
Do we need to move our website to Cloudflare?+
No. ubunya.com/yourname works with nothing to set up on your side. To use your own domain, you add one CNAME record wherever your DNS is hosted today (for example learn.yourname.org) and we handle the certificate.
How do we pay for Ubunya?+
By invoice. We agree a plan, send a PDF invoice in your currency and mark it paid when the money arrives. There is no card on file.
Do learners pay through Ubunya?+
No. They, or the company sponsoring them, pay you the way they do now. Your finance team records each payment, and learners see their balance and download invoices.
Who can create a community?+
Any training organisation can request one. We review every request before it goes live so communities stay genuine.
Can we use our own logo and colours?+
Yes. Upload a logo for light pages and another for dark pages, and pick a brand colour. We check that text on it stays readable.
