Introduction
Grassroots economic empowerment not only arms Africa’s population with entrepreneurial tools, but also, in many cases, removes obstacles to progress. At Empowers Africa, we are committed to supporting local projects such as agricultural initiatives, women’s cooperatives, and bee-hive schemes, and providing long-term skills that will last a lifetime and benefit generations of families.
Why Small Business Development Matters
Access to entrepreneurial skills and income-generating opportunities allows individuals and families to build self-sufficiency rather than depend on outside aid. Small businesses rooted in local resources – from honey and coffee to crafts and agriculture – create lasting jobs, keep income circulating within communities, and give people a direct stake in protecting the natural resources their livelihoods depend on.
How Empowers Africa Makes A Difference
Empowers Africa supports carefully selected organizations working throughout Africa to build grassroots economic opportunity. Through our Fiscal Sponsorship Program and strategic grantmaking, we help fund agricultural training, women’s cooperatives, beekeeping and honey production schemes, enterprise development, and other locally led income-generating initiatives. Every organization undergoes rigorous due diligence and ongoing grant oversight.
