Somo is a non-profit organization that empowers micro and small social enterprises in East Africa's marginalized communities. Somo provides comprehensive business support, such as training, coaching, and financial access, to assist these businesses in becoming sustainable and scalable. Somo focuses on vulnerable women and youth from low-income communities to stimulate economic growth, create job opportunities, and encourage social innovation within communities. Somo's strong track record of providing holistic entrepreneurship support and its deep understanding of marginalized entrepreneurs' realities make it an ideal partner. We invest in the ability of East Africans, who are typically excluded from economic opportunities and systems, to effect systemic change through social entrepreneurship, with a special emphasis on women and youth. Somo entrepreneurs can launch and scale social impact businesses with the right mentors and tools and access to financing and markets, allowing them to develop long-term solutions for economic growth and improved livelihoods while also transforming their communities. Supported end-to-end by our holistic, needs-based, and human-centered model, Somo entrepreneurs turn their skills and passion into real, lasting change for their communities.
