Building Africa
from its Source.
Oakstone Capital deploys blended finance across Uganda and East Africa — industrialising, digitising, and resourcing the continent's renaissance through six active ventures at the Source of the Nile.
Three development verticals
Arifund organises ventures across natural resources, industrial & real assets, and digital services — anchored in Uganda with capital partners across three continents.

Hospitality · Real AssetsThree reasons institutions partner with us
We combine Oakstone Capital's track record with a real on-the-ground presence and institutional-grade structuring.
Headquartered at the Source of the Nile, Jinja. We develop, build, and operate — we are not a distant fund managing assets from afar.
OAC structures instruments that blend DFI capital, commercial equity, and credit guarantees to make projects bankable across Africa.
ESG-aligned, DFI-ready reporting and governance at every SPV level. Clean audit outcomes, on-time reporting, institutional-grade controls.
A HoldCo built for blended finance
Arifund operates across three integrated layers: the Fund pools capital and manages investors; the Platform develops sectors; and individual SPVs execute projects and generate revenue.
Capital flows in from institutional investors, DFIs, and the diaspora — and returns flow back through dividends, interest, and exit proceeds from each SPV.
