Hello friends
I wanted to send you an update on our work supporting social entrepreneurs in Africa and share both the progress we’re seeing and the work still ahead
Over the past few months we have continued identifying passionate women and young leaders who are building businesses to solve local problems, whether that is providing essential services, offering new employment opportunities or bringing innovation to underserved communities. We support them with starter grants, mentorship and business training and already we are hearing encouraging stories of entrepreneurs producing goods and laying the groundwork for sustainable enterprises
One recent participant used her support to purchase materials and create reusable bags and eco friendly accessories. These items are now for sale and if you would like a copy of the catalogue please email hello@actionchange.org and we would be happy to share it. If you are looking for a branded corporate gift we hand make iPad cases, laptop bags, pencil cases and much more. Hand made with love and your logo included. Get in touch
Despite these positive stories our funding remains limited. With only a few grants and resources we are reaching fewer entrepreneurs than we would like. Many talented people are waiting for support, people who could create jobs, inspire others and transform their communities
When you contribute you are enabling us to back more of these bold entrepreneurs. Even a small amount can cover materials for one business, a mentor session or access to market linkages. The ripple effect is big, one business can employ people, support families and expand economic opportunity
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together we are giving community led innovators a chance to thrive and helping build a future where social enterprise is possible and powerful
Warm regards
