Invest $100k in 3 women founded companies

For this update, we would like to share our just launched 2025 Impact Report, which is a true reflection of the work we do, supporting female founded ventures in the health, nutrition and livelihood spaces.

This year, we did something different.

Instead of publishing a traditional PDF, we built a live, interactive Impact Report, designed for you to explore how impact actually happens.

Across our work, one insight stood out:

“Impact is often described, but not always clearly measured.”

So this year, we focused on the key shifts across our portfolio: how capital was deployed, how businesses grew, and how we continue to approach impact in practice. Rather than compressing everything into static pages, the report is structured to give a clearer view of the work, the businesses behind it, and the ecosystem supporting it.

Inside, you’ll find:

• An overview of how we approach capital and impact
• Portfolio highlights across health, nutrition, and livelihoods
• Partner perspectives and collaborations that shaped the year
• Key moments and milestones from across the ecosystem

This isn’t just a reflection on the past year.
It’s a closer look at how impact is built with intentionality through women-owned businesses creating healthier lives.

For this update, we would like to highlight how we supported one of our investee companies—Moppet Foods—to strengthen its climate resilience.

Moppet Foods is a women-led early-years food company in Nigeria that, like many food manufacturers, grapples with growing volumes of organic production waste. This waste contributes to environmental pollution, while the factory’s reliance on costly LPG increases operating expenses, drives up food prices for families, and adds to carbon emissions.

To address this challenge, we launched a targeted fundraising campaign on GlobalGiving during Giving Tuesday in December to support Moppet Foods in acquiring a biodigester—technology that converts organic waste into clean biogas and biofertilizer. The modular biogas digester will process up to 73 tonnes of factory waste annually, replacing LPG use, cutting an estimated 171 tonnes of CO emissions, and reducing energy costs by approximately 15%. In addition, it will generate 62 tonnes of biofertilizer each year, benefiting more than 50 local farmers.

Through this intervention, donor support will help create jobs, empower women entrepreneurs, and contribute to a more sustainable and climate-resilient food system.

This initiative is one of the many ways EIV supports its female founders to grow resilient, impact-driven businesses.
