East Africa Investments is an impact investment organisation providing “supportive capital” to capable and committed entrepreneurs in East Africa, with the overall objective of generating sustainable social and economic impact. The team behind has been working with young entrepreneurs in Rwanda since 2012, supporting them in their efforts to create and develop their own businesses. Recognizing that the lack of access to capital and adequate support is a major obstacle to the creation and growth of small businesses, the team decided to establish East Africa Investments - an impact investment company, focused on providing capital and support to entrepreneurs in the East African region.

Small and medium-sized enterprises play a major role in the ongoing social and economic development of Rwanda and other East African countries. Access to quality support is as important as access to capital. Understanding the importance of profitability is central to creating sustainable businesses that have a long-term impact on the communities in which they operate. Investing in and supporting businesses with growth potential is a powerful way to support East African countries in their ongoing efforts towards social and economic development.

We invest in talented and committed entrepreneurs who are capable of creating sustainable businesses. In addition to capital, businesses have access to ongoing on-site support and strategic advice and expertise through our network of international advisors. We have firsthand experience of how important support is to the success of a business, and we work closely with owners to ensure they have the support they need to help the business reach its full potential.
