Our Belief:
The best way to combat poverty in Africa is through job creation and investment in the future. We find local entrepreneurs with innovative ideas for local markets and support them financially, technically, and operationally, so they can grow and create jobs on their own.

Examples of Our Start-ups:
- Gjenge Makers: This startup transforms plastic waste into affordable building materials. Plastic waste is shredded and pressed into paving stones that are not only 7 times stronger but also half the weight of concrete stones.
- Jiji Health: Jiji Health is revolutionizing the healthcare sector by providing holistic and reliable technological services such as blood bank management and other health-related services.
- Irri-Hub: Irri-Hub empowers small-scale farmers in Africa by providing affordable irrigation solutions that enhance climate resilience in semi-arid and arid regions. With these solutions, farmers can significantly boost their yields and incomes, transitioning to high-value crops.
- Africa Collect Textiles (ACT): ACT is a pioneer in textile recycling. They transform used uniforms and waste clothing into rugs and new products. Outdated jeans are woven into rugs, and other fabric remnants are made into bags. Many old clothes from Europe, exported to Kenya, are no longer wearable. ACT uses these textiles to create new, sustainable products and promotes a circular economy.
We turn your donations into investments that help founders grow their startups.
Unlike regular donations that end when a project ends, our donations create jobs and lay the foundation for a better future. Now is the time to act! Support us and make a difference.
