Self Help Africa is the pro-profit, non-profit \u2013 an organization dedicated to increasing the profitability of small and micro-businesses across Africa.<\/p>\n
Up to 70% of African adults work in small businesses \u2013 most of them small farms. To shift the needle on poverty, these businesses must be made more profitable.<\/p>\n
We work with these businesses to increase production and spread their risk by diversifying production; helping them access banking services and investment by supporting rural savings and credit organizations; opening up new markets for their produce and working with trading systems to reduce middle costs.<\/p>\n
At Self Help Africa, we believe that a vibrant and profitable small business sector in Africa is the key to unlocking millions from endemic poverty. It rewards work, not welfare; encourages investment, not charity.<\/p>\n<\/div>
