She Sahara is dedicated to creating long term financing solutions that bridge the gender financing gap in Sub Saharan Africa.

We adopt a gender lens approach in all that we do, ensuring fairness and equity in our investment process and operations.
The Story behind our Brand
Sahara Impact ventures derives from our geographical focus (Sub-Sahara Africa) and our mission to promote gender equality and empower women who are mostly disadvantaged when it comes to accessing finance to start or scale their businesses. Our logo is a combination of the Adinkra symbol ‘Mmusuyidee’ which represents ‘Good Fortune’ and signifies the positive outcomes of our investments; and the leaves of the Acacia Tree which signifies the resilience approach to our work.
