Women's Sewing Venture
One of our largest projects, The Kamuche Sewing Company was founded with a $3,500 loan from ICAfrica, immediately creating six full-time jobs for women in Owerri, Nigeria. Within 12 months, this venture, which is now fully self-sustaining, created another six full-time jobs.
Family Fish Retail Enterprise
ICAfrica loaned $150 to Mrs. Fidelia Oyoyo, an impoverished 46-year-old mother with tbree children in Zwedru, Liberia. She was able to expand her fish retail trade, which she operates with her husband, Mark. The family now earns an average monthly profit of $45, up from $27 only one year ago. With the additional income, they can now afford two good meals a day, repair their leaking roof, buy some used clothing, and pay for school supplies for their children.
African Yam Farmers
A group of eight yam producers in Ewoki, Cameroon, received $389 from ICAfrica to save their farm after a devastating drought. The loan provided a lifeline to last until the following harvest. The farm has now recovered and is 100 per cent self-sustaining.

Humanitarian Support
While working with entrepreneurs, ICAfrica encounters other areas of human needs which cannot be overlooked. Outside of our core program, ICAfrica devotes 10 per cent of its resources to services that impact on the "improvement of the human condition", such as community water projects, disaster relief, HIV/AIDS support, school feeding programs, computers for schools, books and community library projects, literacy programs, community health, orphanage care, and housing for the poor.
KIVA Lending Team
ICAfrica's KIVA lending team is made up of caring men and women from all over the world who share a common interest in helping to reduce poverty through entrepreneurial success. Our goal is to loan small amounts of money though the KIVA network to struggling entrepreneurs in Africa. Most of our team members are Africans in diaspora. Many of us originated from the various impoverished towns and villages in Africa, and are now working and living developed countries.If you are interested in learning more, or if you would like to donate, please click here.
