Action 10 and its local partners aim to contribute to bringing entire communities out of poverty by supporting social entrepreneurs in Africa.

In Uganda, Amos Enyachu, Margaret Baluka Muyiyi, Samalie Nakhumitsa, and Isaac Chogoli, as well as many others in the region, are driven by a passion to grow their businesses and create a positive change. With your support, we can provide them with vital loans and training, ensuring they not only expand their businesses but also create jobs. Your contribution is key for them and the communities they live in.

The Challenges Facing Entrepreneurs in Africa

Entrepreneurs in Uganda and Kenya face significant challenges that limit their ability to grow, including limited access to investment, high operational costs, and market volatility. While the need for capital is essential, traditional bank loans are often inaccessible due to high interest rates and stringent requirements. Action 10 steps in where others don’t—offering business loans and training designed to help entrepreneurs in these challenging environments.

The Power of Business Loans

Business loans from Action 10 do more than provide capital—they enable transformation. Amos Enyachu, a farmer in Uganda, is striving to expand his vegetable farm, but he needs a loan to purchase seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. Similarly, Margaret Muyiyi’s poultry farm requires capital to meet growing customer demand. These loans offer more than just short-term gains. They provide sustainable pathways for entrepreneurs to scale their operations, create jobs, and uplift their communities.

Real Entrepreneurs, Real Impact

In Kenya, Fredrick Khabeko’s ENEO SMART FARM is an example of what can happen when entrepreneurs get the support they need. Fredrick has already made strides in poultry farming but needs further investment to sustain his farm. A loan would help him expand his chicken house, buy feeds, and invest in a feed milling machine. His goal is not only to create a profitable farm but to make a lasting impact on his community by offering employment and supporting local food security.

About Uganda and Kenya:

Uganda: Uganda faces significant challenges with high unemployment, particularly among its youth. Many turn to entrepreneurship as a way to generate income, but they often lack access to the necessary financial resources and training. Agriculture remains a central part of the economy, with many small-scale farmers seeking ways to improve productivity and meet growing market demands.
Kenya: Kenya’s economy is largely driven by agriculture, with small-scale farmers playing a vital role. However, these farmers face challenges such as market volatility, high operational costs, and limited access to modern farming technologies. Despite these obstacles, there is great potential for growth through sustainable farming practices and innovative solutions that support community development and food security.
