Umoja Coin
Origins in the Heart of Africa

The genesis of Umoja Coin is deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the Masai tribe in East Africa. Initiated by BornMatthew The Founder of Umoja Coin,and a Masai himself, the currency was born from a keen observation of the economic hurdles his people faced during transactions across national borders. These borders, artificial lines drawn without regard for the longstanding history and movements of the Masai, created unnecessary financial burdens for a community accustomed to a life without such divides.

Expanding on this observation, BornMatthew envisioned Umoja Coin as a tool to transcend these imposed limitations. The Masai, with a history that stretches back centuries, have always been a symbol of resilience and adaptability. Umoja Coin taps into this spirit, offering a modern solution to an age-old problem — facilitating smoother, borderless trade within the tribe and beyond.

Umoja Coin thus stands as more than just a digital currency; it’s a beacon of hope and unity. It’s designed to ease the financial transactions not only for the Masai but also for the wider African continent, bridging gaps and bringing communities closer in an economically divided world. This coin is a step towards redefining African economic interactions, aligning with the continent’s rich history and vibrant future.

Umoja Coin - A Safe Crypto

A United Africa

 Umoja Coin was created and launched by a driven group of people residing in East Africa - the heart of Africa. They envisioned a future united Africa emerging out of unity and closeness , and one of the logical steps had to be a single currency thought.
