The evidence behind the story.

Our homepage tells the story. This page is where we keep the numbers honest.

Impact at a glance

Honest numbers.

We would rather publish a few numbers we can stand behind than a long list that does not match. The numbers below are the ones we can confirm today. We are putting all our data in one place, so that every number on this site, in our reports and on social media says the same thing.

2021Founded and registered in Bukavu, DR Congo
25+Scholars in our community
10+Cohorts run since our founding
15Enterprise ideas from our 2025 Kampala cohort

A new cohort of 23 scholars is currently in session in Bukavu, not yet reflected in the figures above.

A story, not just a statistic

Resilience is part of our model.

“When circumstances changed in 2025, our scholars proved that entrepreneurship is a mindset, not a physical building. Twenty-four scholars completed an intensive residential program in Kampala, generating fifteen enterprise ideas ready to serve their communities.”

Scholars in a SENTA ideation discussion in Kampala

Other figures you may see: some SENTA materials and social posts mention other numbers, such as a higher count of active scholars or a specific number of initiatives presented by a recent cohort. We keep our full scholar and cohort history on SINA’s internal dashboard. We are working from it to publish a fuller, fully sourced picture here, including clear definitions of what counts as an “active” scholar, an “initiative” and a registered enterprise.

See what these numbers actually look like.
