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.
We welcome entrepreneurs with a passion for driving social change
Action10 offers business loans through Human Rights & Science (HR&S) with local branches in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Togo, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Zambia and Rwanda. HR&S welcomes entrepreneurs with intrinsic motivation, and a sound business idea that would benefit from scaling. HR&S also offers training, financial auditing, expert advice, network, and physical infrastructure.
Besides empowering enterprising for social good, HR&S also seeks strategic
partnerships with scientific institutions and advanced laboratories strengthening the access to cutting-edge facilities for sustainable economic growth. You can find out more about HR&S by visiting humanrightsandscience.com
