Our Impact

“UK AID is supporting Generation for Change and Development to give woman entrepreneurs in Kenya quality training and support, to help them build or improve their business – and lift them out of poverty... This is crucial work, particularly ahead of the UK-Africa Investment Summit in January, which will create new partnerships to deliver more investment, jobs and growth, benefitting people and businesses in Africa and the UK. The Small Charities Challenge Fund makes it easier for small British charities like this to access UK aid, helping them to improve lives and reduce poverty around the world.”
