Alleviating poverty through entrepreneurship

Since 1998, Entrepreneurs du Monde has been supporting people in highly precarious situations around the world. We help them to start and grow a business, gain access to clean energy and adapt to climate change, helping them build lasting independence.

Entrepreneurs du Monde creates and nurtures local social enterprises, supporting them until they become fully self-sufficient.

I am not alone in this. Other small business owners in the region are also using solar power systems to grow their businesses. Access to reliable energy enables the entire community to improve its living conditions and create new economic opportunities.

Today, processing cassava is much less labor-intensive, I can sell my produce more easily, and my income has increased. I am especially proud to be able to send my children to school despite the hardships I have faced. My dream now is to acquire more farming equipment so I can expand my business and ensure a better future for my family.

Today, I’m on my sixth microloan, for 10,000 SLE (€418), and my business has taken on a whole new dimension. I now sell fish, clothing, palm oil, household items, and toiletries. Thanks to my savings, I’ve been able to improve my production and expand my inventory.

Today, thanks to the purchase of a solar kit, I have a reliable source of energy to light my kiosk and work in better conditions. It also allows me to welcome my customers for longer and improve the service I offer them. Based on this experience, I am now considering purchasing improved stoves for my mini-restaurant so that I can cook faster, serve more customers, and increase my revenue.
