Funds and philanthropic tools

OVO Acceleration Fund

International

The Fund supports projects in Africa that have a sustainable social and economic impact, through loans adapted to the needs of local entrepreneurs.

What is it about?

The fund provides low-interest loans to stimulate social and sustainable entrepreneurship in Africa. OVO (Ondernemers voor Ondernemers - Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs) supports these projects with expertise. At the end of the loan period, these funds return to the Fund. This way, new projects can be financed.
