Backing African Women
Founders. Building
Healthier Communities.

Across Africa, women lead most small businesses but receive less than 2% of startup funding, leaving critical health, nutrition, and livelihood solutions underfunded.

EHA Impact Ventures is a nonprofit investor proving that when women lead, communities thrive.

We provide flexible capital, deep operational support, and trusted networks, designed by people who have built businesses in Africa themselves. Every return is reinvested to fuel future investments and amplify long‑term impact.

Our Focus Areas

Health

Nutrition

Livelihoods

Our Model

We place catalytic capital in the hands of overlooked women founders, strengthen their operational muscle, and shift the systems that determine who gets seen, supported, and scaled.

Invest

We deploy early-stage, flexible, gender-smart capital,  partnering with aligned investors to co-design inclusive, community-rooted business models that drive sustainable growth.

Equip

We strengthen founders through tailored leadership programs, practical tools, and hands-on mentorship, empowering them to manage and measure impact with confidence.

Shift

We are reshaping the capital ecosystem and championing a new narrative of who is truly investable in Africa through networks, policy engagement, and advocacy.

Our Impact

EHA Impact Ventures (EIV) is transforming the landscape of gender-smart investing in Africa. Our approach pairs flexible capital with operational support and care, ensuring overlooked women-led businesses don’t just survive, but thrive.
