Further pushing forward on our idea of investing in innovative ideas and entrepreneurship around the world, we just made two additional microfinance bids.

With investing in Vagif Abbasov, based in the Khirdalan settlement in Azerbaijan, we would like to support his idea of expanding his business for office supplies, books and discs. “I know that the people need the office supplies and the books, discs for education and that is why I want to buy discs with the programmes and books for self-education for people”, Vagif says. We thought this is a great intention and he deserves as much support as possible.

The second new project we are happy to support, is the printing shop of Mukiga Ganshanga in Uganda. He holds a degree in Education and started off with a bookshop, which soon expanded to a printing business to supply the schools in his area. He employs five workes, two of which are women. Now he needs more machinery to meet his customers demands, for example a modern printing machine and a paper cutter.

We are sure that both, Ganshanga and Vagif, will be very successful in their business and wish them best of luck. Of course we hope that you now feel again inspired by our new investments and follow us on the way to help investing in sustainable projects around the world.
