Our Solution

By offering business loans, training, and expert advice to local entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan African countries, we aim to conclude the development aid dependency.

We manage to transfer 95% of donations to our partners in sub-Saharan African countries. The 5%, that is used for administration in Sweden, covers mainly bank and web-site fees, and money transfer costs.

Why Business Loans?

Enterprise is a powerful development institution. Local entrepreneurs offer products, services and employment; they reach the under-served communities; and they generate tax income to the government. Despite this, it is often very difficult to start and run an enterprise in sub-Saharan African countries due to the absence of fair funding opportunities and logistical hurdles.
