Turning Poverty into Possibility
~ Village by Village ~ Our Mission
To build profitable, sustainable business ventures that create economic empowerment or those most in need. |
Since 2010, OneLove Africa has been responsible for the start-up of over 2,300 village ventures and empowered 120 trainers in East Africa.

Entrepreneurial Training
OneLove Africa travels into rural areas to deliver entrepreneurial training to village women. The training is delivered in modules that are highly participatory and include both exercises and opportunities for discussion to maximize the learning.
Financial Empowerment through VICOBAOneLove Africa provides small grants to women entrepreneurs to assist with the start up or expansion of their businesses. Grants are not based on the written word or the specific skills and education of the women. They are given to women who have a vision of their venture, a passion for what they're doing and a desire to succeed.

Ongoing Support and Mentoring
We provide resources that support the ongoing development of the micro businesses. This is critically important with any venture and even more so for village entrepreneurs who have little formal education. OneLove has developed a series of tools for group an/or peer mentoring.
Train-the-trainerWe build the capacity of village leaders and other NGOs by making our train-the-trainer and teaching curriculum available to other partner organizations. This modular program is easily customized for the specific needs of each region and village community.
