At Mkono, we believe that young entrepreneurs in developing countries hold the potential to achieve lasting change. These entrepreneurs are well positioned to drive social and economic benefits by creating employment or by developing solutions tailored to their reality. But they face flawed financing options, with high interest rates or insufficient funding. Because no significant change can be achieved alone, Mkono connects people from all over the world to share knowledge and resources, in an effort to empower young entrepreneurs to bring the change they envision.We achieve our mission by giving young entrepreneurs access to affordable capital and insights. Said differently, we make loans to the entrepreneurs and connect them with our Mkono Allies, young professionals with relevant expertise from all around the world, to explore specific topics to grow their business. Driving impact at Mkono goes beyond financial support as we believe that capital well invested multiplies its impact. Whereas micro-lending companies mainly strive for financial inclusion, we take a more holistic approach at empowering young entrepreneurs to achieve maximum impact.We are a young non-profit organization incorporated in Canada with operations in Kenya.
