VISION

An Africa where vulnerable youth transform from job seekers
to job creators.

MISSION

To reduce poverty by supporting entrepreneurship through business incubation, learning by doing and community development.

We facilitate a “learning by doing” program seeking to develop job creators in Africa. Our solution brings an integrated approach to local communities. They lead in decision-making by defining solutions to their problems. This fosters local ownership of the projects. Further, we ensure that the sharing of knowledge enables them to train others in new skills.
