Since launching, LIVE Africa has worked to develop a thoughtful approach to improving social and environmental outcomes. Like many businesses, we are changing our strategy and exploring new partnerships in light of COVID-19. The impact of this pandemic continues to affect all of us and is a driver to accelerate efforts to help small and growing businesses.

It is imperative that we work together to help uplift and invest more in communities challenged by this virus, especially historically marginalized people. To address growing financial gaps, LIVE Africa is raising and exploring opportunities to support businesses in Kenya. Rapid response financing vehicles are essential to mitigating financial and economic risks for SGBs particularly ones in frontier markets.

We will provide updates on our raise and open to discussing innovative models to support African businesses.
