Since its launch in 2022 at the House of Lords, this initiative has grown into a powerful cultural and economic bridge, connecting the United Kingdom with over 25 Kiswahili-speaking nations across Africa and the global diaspora.

Taking place from 7th–12th July 2026, the programme will feature:

• Opening at the House of Lords (7th July – Invite Only)
  A high-level Cultural Meet & Greet bringing together diplomats, policymakers, and distinguished leaders.
• Biashara International Expo London (11th July, 12:00 AM – 6:00 PM)
  Open to the public (free entry), attracting both general attendees and a curated audience of investors, real estate developers, and SMEs. Now in its third year, the Expo continues to unlock new trade and investment opportunities.
• Sema Jambo Awards Gala Evening (11th July, 6:00 PM – 1:00 AM) - After-Party 11 pm - 1 am.
  Hosted at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, this prestigious evening honours outstanding leaders, innovators, and changemakers across the Kiswahili world.
• Grand Finale London 
  A vibrant public celebration of Kiswahili culture through music, fashion, and community engagement.

At the heart of the week is Biashara International Expo London — SOKONI,  a dynamic trade and investment platform connecting diaspora capital, institutions, and industry leaders with real commercial opportunities between the UK and Swahili-speaking Africa.

The celebrations culminate in the prestigious Sema Jambo Awards Gala Evening, recognising excellence, leadership, and impact across sectors including business, culture, and community development.

Partnering with us will position Unity Homes at the centre of a respected and influential diaspora platform, offering:

• Strategic visibility across diplomatic, business, and creative networks
• Direct engagement with investors, policymakers, and high-net-worth individuals
• Brand alignment with a trusted and growing international platform
• Access to emerging opportunities within UK–Africa trade and investment

This is more than a cultural celebration — it is a strategic gateway to long-term UK–Africa collaboration, particularly within the real estate and infrastructure sectors where your organisation continues to lead.

We would welcome the opportunity to develop a tailored partnership package aligned with Unity Homes’ strategic objectives and growth ambitions.
