The Safari Partners has recently expanded our Microfinance Portfolio in Africa as part of our one percent for Africa commitment to include over 110 loans to budding entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Through a partnership with Kiva.org this program encourages Africans to invest in themselves by providing small denomination loans to borrowers looking to start and expand their own businesses.
Entrepreneurship serves as an enabler to help these budding business people act as mentors in their communities and employ local people, providing income and helping to grow their own local and regional economies.
Our ever-expanding portfolio now includes over 110 loans to all sectors of industry from agriculture to retail sales to transportation and construction.
