Introduction
With high unemployment rates and low foreign trade, people in Africa are heavily reliant on micro-businesses. Through our up-skilling projects across Africa we identify key potential successful business people and provide the support network through mentoring and funding to setup their own business.
Report
Together with local NGOs and institutions, we identify entrepreneurs with a solid and sustainable business idea. After a selection process, each entrepreneur will get the capacity building required to be given the best opportunity for success. By giving people access to starting capital, communities will quickly become self-sufficient. This will not only ensure that they will not on foreign support but further have the funds to put their children through school, get access to healthcare services and participate in the greater economy. We have manage to raise $300 to support new businesses so far.
