Gender Lens

Gender Lens Impact Investing

We seek to provide tailored and gender lens financing solutions to businesses, in the form of long-term loans, equity investments and mezzanine finance. Our focus as an SME gender lens impact investment firm is to invest in commercially sustainable SME businesses that are women-owned, led/managed and/or incorporate women in their value chains, whether as workers, suppliers, or beneficiaries of the products and services produced. The overall goal is to use a gender smart approach to facilitate investments into viable SMEs for financial and social returns with key impact objectives focused on improving women’s access to quality employment, leadership opportunities and products and services that improve economic opportunities and social well-being for females in general.
