INGO Female Transporters is a women-led mobility social enterprise transforming how people move and how women earn in the transport sector. We believe mobility should be safe, professional, inclusive, and accessible. Through our growing network of trained female drivers and technology-enabled services, we connect people to trusted transportation while creating dignified economic opportunities for women.

We are not just a transport service; we are a movement for women’s economic empowerment, safe mobility, and inclusive development.
INGO was founded from lived experience and a simple but powerful observation: safe, reliable, and inclusive mobility remains out of reach for many women and families.
After unexpectedly losing a global consultancy role following international funding cuts, our Founder and CEO, Faith Mairah, found herself at a professional crossroads. Determined to remain resilient and support herself, she turned to ride-hailing as a source of income. What began as a temporary solution soon became a firsthand introduction to the realities of Uganda’s transport ecosystem.
As a driver, Faith experienced many of the challenges women face every day in the mobility sector. She encountered safety concerns, harassment, and environments where women were significantly under-represented. At the same time, she met passengers, parents, and families who were actively searching for transport options they could trust, particularly for women and children.
These experiences revealed a deeper problem. Mobility was not only a transportation issue; it was also a safety, inclusion, and economic opportunity issue.
Faith recognized two important truths. First, many individuals and families needed safer and more dependable transport solutions. Second, women themselves could be part of the solution if given the opportunity, training, and support to thrive in the transport industry.
Rather than accept the status quo, she envisioned a different future: one where women could earn dignified incomes as professional drivers, and where passengers could access transportation services built on trust, safety, and professionalism.
That vision became INGO.
Today, INGO is building a technology-enabled mobility platform that connects trained female drivers with safety-conscious individuals, families, and organizations. By combining professional driver training, technology, and a commitment to service excellence, INGO is creating safer mobility options while expanding economic opportunities for women.
What started as a personal journey has grown into a movement to redefine mobility through safety, inclusion, and innovation. We believe that when women are empowered to participate fully in the transport sector, communities become safer, families gain greater peace of mind, and economic opportunities become more accessible to all.
INGO is more than a transport service. It is a platform for safer mobility, women’s economic empowerment, and a future where transportation works better for everyone.
