We're working to support the growth of local creative economies by building and strengthening solidarity systems that support creators and creative enterprises.
We act as a catalyst.
We exist to catalyze social and
economic impact by strengthening solidarity-driven systems that support youth and youth-led enterprises in building sustainable and inclusive livelihoods.
We envision local creative economies where creators and creative enterprises flourish through strong, collaborative, and sustainable support systems.
Our Mission and the SDGs
Our mission is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). By addressing the economic challenges faced by African creators, we directly contribute to the eradication of poverty and promote inclusive economic growth.
What We Do
We help strengthen solidarity-driven systems that support creators and creative economy practitioners in building sustainable and inclusive livelihoods/enterprises.
Collectives, Communities & Networks
We support the formation and growth of collectives, communities, hubs, and networks where Africa’s youth and youth-led enterprises can connect, collaborate, and share resources.
Through peer-to-peer learning, shared infrastructure, and cooperative organizing, we help shift youth from isolation to collective power, enabling them to build stronger, more supportive ecosystems.
We strengthen the capacity of youth-led enterprises, collectives, and cooperatives to operate sustainably and equitably.
By promoting shared governance models, accessible business support, and solidarity-led growth strategies, we help groups to organize more effectively, grow their income, and distribute value more fairly among their members.
Enterprise & Cooperative Development
Financial Resilience & Growth
We advance financial education, collective financing, and long-term investment strategies tailored to the needs of local economies.
From helping individuals pursue financial independence to mobilizing capital for collective ventures, we foster a culture of shared financial growth that supports both personal security and sector-wide sustainability.
We advocate for local economies that are properly valued, fairly regulated,
and meaningfully supported.
Working alongside practitioners, policymakers, institutions, and civil society, we promote policies and practices that protect labor, unlock public and private investment, and
position key sectors as drivers of inclusive development.
