Zinari Capital aims to promote the economic
empowerment of African women and reduce gender inequalities by investing to support the growth
of commercially sustainable SME businesses that are women-owned, led/managed or incorporate
women in their value chains, whether as workers, suppliers, or beneficiaries of the products and
services produced.
The overall goal of Zinari Capital is to use gender lens framework and
inclusive approach to facilitate investments into viable SMEs for a financial return as well as
to improve women's access to quality employment, leadership opportunities and products and
services that improve economic opportunities and social well-being for females in general.
Zinari means 'gold' in Hausa, a language spoken widely in the West African region and
reflects our Ghanaian origin. Like the gold in the Company's name and logo, Zinari Capital
symbolizes prosperity and wealth creation in Africa, which we believe is largely possible
through investing in women empowerment and gender equity.
