Tuzuule, a web platform, has launched to help people find their lost property. Starting on November 1st, 2017, people that have lost property will be able to just visit the website and know who to get in touch with.
The startup is patterning with institutions in a move that is aimed at making the process of finding lost property easy.
Recently, the Tuzuule team announced a partnership with Kampala Operational Taxi Stages Association (KOTSA).
In the communication, Tuzuule says that KOTSA operates up to 150 stages in Kampala and have 10 offices where all lost and found properties left in Taxis are collected.
The partnership will see all properties left behind by passengers posted on their platform.
So far, on their website, they list GarthDee 506, MTN, Makerere University, KOTSA, Radio One, and Akaboozi as some of the already secured partnerships.
However, individuals are not allowed to post lost and found property on the platform. Instead, they're expected to report it to police.
The startup is hoping to partner with more stakeholders like Police, Taxi and Bus Operating Companies, Banks, City Councils, Airports, Restaurants, Hotels, Hospitals, Schools, Colleges & Universities, Shopping Malls, Public Service Centres, Radio Stations and more where people usually forget their property.
The partners don’t get to pay anything for the services, but rather the person who lost the property.
It is not clear whether they go ahead and share the "ransom" with the institutions that list the properties.
