About the Organization
African Entrepreneur Collective (AEC) is a new, innovative solution to systemic unemployment in Africa. While African economies are some of the fastest growing in the world, unemployment is widespread and persistent, causing severe economic, social, and political ramifications. The root cause is that the supply of jobs is outpaced by the increasing demands of a growing workforce. AEC focuses on job creation. Our plan is simple: equip existing entrepreneurs with the tools to succeed and empower them to create jobs for others in their communities. Read more

About the Organization
Community Wealth Ventures was launched on a simple core belief: social sector organizations have effective solutions to the problems that challenge communities, such as those related to hunger, education, health, housing and employment.

Our bold ambition is to support others in solving social problems on the scale that they exist. Our work focuses on supporting partners in achieving, sustaining and growing their impact to eradicate or make dramatic improvement on a social problem. We provide services that enable change agents to bring about disciplined, systemic social transformation, with core expertise in social enterprise or earned income generation. Read more
