Enterprising solutions to poverty

Africa Now supports farmers and small businesses to produce and sell better products. By supporting their own hard work and creativity, Africa Now offers a 'hand-up' and a future of opportunity. We assist with finance, training, technology and securing a fair price from buyers.

Africa Now not only helps producers expand their existing product range, but also provides training on new innovations and technologies, links to local banks for loans, and assistance in seeking out reliable markets where their products can be sold.

We also provide auditing services to companies seeking to be more socially responsible in their business dealings in Africa with the aim of improving the lives and working conditions of local factory and farm staff. Read more about Africa Now's approach.
