In the latest installment of the MTN Unstoppable series, we introduce Rapa Thomson Ricky, a tech pioneer whose journey embodies resilience, determination, and the transformative power of technology. Born out of tough times, Rapa’s story is a testament to the belief that anyone can make a significant impact with hard work and a dream.

His innate curiosity and belief in the life-changing potential of technology fueled his desire to learn everything about it. Even when faced with financial constraints, Rapa was unwavering in his commitment to mastering the world of tech.
His breakthrough came with the inception of Safe Boda, an idea born out of collaboration with friends who shared his vision for leveraging technology to make life easier for everyone in Uganda. The journey was not without challenges – financial constraints and skepticism from others threatened to derail their progress. However, Rapa and his team pressed on, transforming Safe Boda into more than just a ride-hailing service.
Through continuous hard work and innovation, Rapa and his team expanded Safe Boda to offer essential services, addressing immediate needs and making a positive impact on the lives of Ugandans. It wasn’t just about transportation; it was about creating a platform that improved the overall well-being of the community.
Safe Boda’s impact reached beyond convenience, becoming a catalyst for change in Uganda’s tourism sector. The platform brought tourists closer to local experiences previously inaccessible, opening up new opportunities for everyone involved. Rapa Thomson Ricky’s dedication didn’t merely revolutionize how people moved around; it played a pivotal role in enhancing Uganda’s tourism landscape.
Rapa’s journey is more than that of a tech innovator; it is a symbol of perseverance and the unwavering commitment to making a difference, even in the face of adversity.
