A private, non-profit organization committed to empowering women and young entrepreneurs in Africa’s micro and small business sectors. Our three-pronged approach supports underserved rural and urban communities through inclusive finance programs, eco-friendly initiatives, and health and social wellness interventions. The goal is to drive business sustainability, foster economic empowerment, and contribute to poverty alleviation across Africa’s key economic sectors.
