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.

From precarity to self-sufficiency

Portrait de Mamadama Sylla, commerçante et bénéficiaire de Wakili en Guinée

Grâce aux formations de Wakili, j’ai appris à mieux gérer mon argent et à épargner. Mon commerce me permet aujourd’hui d’aider à mon tour mes clients avec de petits prêts et d’améliorer mon quotidien. Avant, je n’avais aucun revenu. Aujourd’hui, j’ai gagné mon indépendance et je peux enfin me projeter dans l’avenir.
