AfricAspire CIC: Empowering Young African Entrepreneurs

ᴛʜɪꜱ ɪꜱ ᴘᴇʀꜱᴏɴᴀʟ. ᴛʜɪꜱ ɪꜱ ᴀ ᴘʀᴏᴍɪꜱᴇ.

AfricAspire was born from the life – and loss – of , a talented young Zambian whose potential was never given a chance to flourish. His story is shared by thousands of resilient, creative Africans who dream big yet lack access to training, mentoring, and start-up resources.

Today, AfricAspire is officially registered as a UK Community Interest Company (CIC) so every pound we raise is legally locked for community benefit.

Why We're Raising £10,000

Our first goal is to launch in Zambia and eSwatini and to build the systems that will support many more.

How We’ll Use the £10,000

▶️ £4,000 – Pilot Programme Delivery
Covers training, mentoring, internet access, and local logistics for our first three entrepreneurs.

▶️ £2,000 – Storytelling & Video
Professional case-study videos that showcase real impact and help attract future partners.

▶️ £1,500 – Diaspora Outreach (UK)
Design, print, and micro-event costs to build awareness and relationships in UK African diaspora communities.

▶️ £1,500 – Systems & Compliance
CRM setup, safeguarding policies, insurance, and CIC governance essentials.

▶️ £1,000 – Contingency & Scaling
To keep the pilot on track and seed Phase 2.

What Your Gift Provides

  • Hands-on business training & branding (logo, website, socials)
  • One-to-one mentoring from UK & African professionals
  • Financial literacy & strategic planning for long-term growth
  • A launchpad, not a hand-out – we don’t give cash; we build capacity, then help entrepreneurs secure their own seed investment.

One thriving micro-enterprise creates jobs, supports families, and inspires others. That ripple reshapes communities from the inside out.

  • Donate any amount – every pound is a seed.
  • Share this link with friends, colleagues, diaspora groups.
  • Follow our updates – watch the first cohort grow in real time.

| “AfricAspire exists because when one entrepreneur rises, an entire community rises with them.”
