Entrepreneurship Support for Refugees in Rwanda
Organization information
African Entrepreneur Collective
Location: San Francisco, United States of America
Summary
In October 2016, Rwanda will pilot an innovation in refugee relief that, if successful, could have wide-spread impact. Instead of receiving donated food and supplies, nearly 40,000 camp refugees will receive cash stipends. These households will regain control over their finances and act as normal consumers. Where there are money and consumers, there are business opportunities. AEC will work with refugee entrepreneurs and provide them with capacity building and financing to launch enterprises.
