Kola makes its @The_LHoFT pitch for the #Makeba system: this software helps #entrepreneurs document their income, so far allowing 400 #SMEs to borrow $76,000 from a wholesale funder via 4 #MFIs, and everyone profits! #SAM2023 kolagroup.io

Being at the #SAM2023 Investors Fair is exciting in two aspects: It’s great to meet in person with #MFIs from all over #Africa without having to travel to each of their home countries, and it’s an excellent way to compare these borrowers qualitatively. -Michael Musau, Investment Manager at en.alterfin.be

We are not just holding government leaders accountable on a national level, but we are working through international fora, with 900 #youth mobilized in dozens of countries. No one has a vaccine against #climatechange, but we can all be beacons of hope. @InezaUmuhoza @TheProtectorRw @LossDamageYouth #SAM2023
