An impact-focused private credit fund that lends to profitable SMEs, with a gender lens
2024
Sayuni Capital is a women-led, impact-focused private credit fund that lends to profitable small and medium businesses in Kenya and Tanzania, owned by women and local entrepreneurs. Sayuni invests in businesses operating in agribusiness, manufacturing, logistics and trade (the consumer value chain), areas where we see tremendous potential for job creation and inclusive, resilient economic growth. In addition to providing capital, Sayuni provides value-add support to the companies to drive their maturity and professionalization. We provide funding for working capital, asset finance and growth, for companies in the "missing middle": too large for microfinance, but yet too small for institutional capital. Sayuni’s mission is to promote inclusive economies in Africa by providing capital to underfunded companies, further professionalizing the companies, and creating quality jobs.
