Income Growth: A Critical Imperative for Africans

The wealth divide between the rich and the rest of the world continues to grow, with the richest 1% accumulating nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years (Oxfam, 2021). This stark inequality is a major challenge for many around the world, including young Africans, who are often faced with limited job opportunities and tough economic prospects. That's why, at Umsizi Fund, we believe that it is essential to invest in pathways to employment for young Africans.
