About Jaoleads

A Ugandan software studio with a wide toolkit.

Jaoleads Media Agency Limited designs, builds and hosts software for small businesses, NGOs and churches across East Africa.

Our story

From community websites to a full-stack studio.

Jaoleads started by building websites for community organisations that needed to be taken seriously online. It has grown into a studio that handles the whole stack — hosting, email, web apps and integrations.

We've rebuilt NGO websites, built church platforms and livestream tools, migrated accounting data out of QuickBooks, and written the extensions and APIs that sit quietly behind the scenes.

Our founder is also a working wedding and event photographer — which is why our photography tools exist, and why we care as much about how things look as how they work.

What we believe

The principles behind every project

01

Built for real conditions

Mobile-first, light on data, and priced in the currency you earn in.

02

Honest scope

If something doesn't need custom software, we'll say so and point you to what does the job.

03

We ship our own products

Running SaaS products ourselves means we know what keeps software alive after launch.

04

Long relationships

Many of our clients are NGOs and churches we support year after year, not for a single project.

Who we serve
