Our Corporate Story

Three decades of building East Africa's most integrated enterprise group.

From a Single Operation
to a Regional Conglomerate

Founded in 1994 by Yusuf Kalinganire, YYUSSA Group began as a logistics operation in Kigali — a single vision to move essential goods across a region hungry for reliable supply chains. From that foundation, something enduring was built.

Over three decades, YYUSSA evolved into a fully integrated enterprise group, spanning cargo transportation, commercial wholesale, and real estate. The fleet grew from a handful of vehicles to 300+ tank trailers and 50+ flatbed units, serving East and Central Africa with precision and zero-accident commitment.

“Bringing the difference isn't just a dream. It is YYUSSA's mission.”

The expansion into real estate brought over 100 rental properties nationwide, trusted by Vivo Energy, World Vision, Bank of Kigali, MTN, and a growing list of multinationals. In 2024, the $32 million acquisition of Kigali Heights cemented YYUSSA's position as one of Rwanda's most significant corporate landholders.

Today, YYUSSA Group serves governments, international organizations, and communities across East and Central Africa — still driven by the same conviction that founded it thirty years ago.
