Cooperative Capital Fund
The Cooperative Capital Fund empowers women’s financial autonomy in rural areas of Burundi. ACB partners with the Social Entrepreneurship Group (SEG) to deliver startup capital, sustainable farming training, and market access directly to women’s agricultural cooperatives and craft producers. This collaboration enables rural women to significantly increase their revenues and achieve lasting financial independence.
