Fund a Small Business Grant in Southern Africa

Introduction 

With high unemployment rates and low foreign trade, people in Africa are heavily reliant on micro-businesses. Thus, without credit becomes impossible to get a loan to get your business off the ground. Action Change partners with local NGOs and entrepreneurs to provide them with the training, skills and funding they need to get their small business off the ground. Instead of a high-interest rate, the entrepreneur gets to do a donation to a future entrepreneur!

Report 

Together with local NGOs and institutions, we identify entrepreneurs with a solid and sustainable business idea. After a selection process, each entrepreneur will get the capacity building required to be given the best opportunity for success. Once trained, they will be assisted with the initial products to be able to earn the money to continue the operations independently. Instead of a high-interest rate, the entrepreneur gets to do a donation to a future entrepreneur!

Dear Supporters,

2020 is over but the pandemic is still crippling nations. As we face more hard lockdowns at the begining of this year it is expected even more thousands of people are going to loose theiir jobs and join the overcrowdeed unemployed market. 

We need to act now, running many projects to help retrain people is a life changing course but we can't just offer trainiing. We see a number of driven and passionate people graduate from our computer courses, cartering courses and sewing classes but after graduation with no funds they can't progress. 

Gifts to this project have been and will be offering small grants and loans from $50 upwards for these people that show the drive to start their own business. Often it only takes an iinvestment of cotton and fabric for someone to make their first product to take to maket and then their lifie will change in a sustinable way. 

Thank you for your support
