What We Do

We channel our investments into African-owned and African-led Investment Vehicles.

Our mission extends beyond funding: we aim to mitigate investment risks across the continent by providing crucial access to both financial resources and knowledge. This unique approach is strategically designed to bring about significant, positive impacts on our Investment Vehicles, and the SMEs within their portfolios.

Our goal is to create dignified and fulfilling work opportunities for young people, with a special emphasis on empowering young women.
