Entrepreneurship as an engine

Africa is rich in talent and potential. Yet 67% of the population in Sub-Saharan-Africa still lives in poverty (*). But dynamic entrepreneurs are changing that. Their projects are paving the way for a sustainable future—one that goes beyond job creation. Higher incomes make better education accessible to more people. Entire communities grow in self-awareness and, ultimately, in self-confidence.

 

Entrepreneurship as a common thread

Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (OVO) supports this sustainable entrepreneurship. Our organization selects and guides African businesses and projects that have a social and environmentally friendly impact, and helps them secure financing.

For every project, we seek Belgian entrepreneurs, companies, and investors who are willing to share their expertise and/or resources. We do this in collaboration with an international network of NGOs and relevant organizations that pursue the same Sustainable Development Goals.

Entrepreneurship as collaboration

Equality is one of the key principles. It is up to African enterprises and organizations to write their own success story. At the same time, European companies and investors broaden their perspective, creativity, and engagement. It is a constructive win-win collaboration, based on mutual respect.
