OVERVIEW

HEVA designed a facility focused on young women in creative enterprises, looking to increase their production capacities, launch new product lines, invest in new technology and expand their distribution networks in the East Africa market. We are announcing our first early-stage finance and business support facility to exclusively support women-owned and women-led early stage enterprises in Kenya, in collaboration with JENGA CCI – Global Project Culture and Creative industries, a project of the Goethe-Institut Kenya and GIZ.

This facility is directed at supporting the applicants’ working capital needs as well as acquisition of production assets. Alongside the financial investment, we shall provide business support and learning facilities to improve the productivity of successful beneficiaries in the following ways: investments in production, inventory and logistics technologies; support increasing the unit value of a product by product development; and increasing access to necessary post-production capacities.
