Projects
looking for Sponsors
|
Most of
Africa's poverty comes from lack of employment for
parents, other able-bodies adults and youths. A
permanent solution is to enable local micro-entrepreneurs
to grow and create jobs. The role of ICAfrica
is to assist
these entrepreneurs with coaching & micro-credit.
If you are a company or an
individual wishing to help in the fight against poverty, you can sponsor one of several thousands
of micro-enterprises and other development projects throughout Africa. Listed
below are a few that we have evaluated and are seeking financial
sponsors for.
