INKOMOKO

Inkomoko is proud to be partnering with SAS-P / Sint Antonius Stichting to scale our refugee livelihoods programs in Ethiopia and Chad. Globally there are three times as many refugees today than ten years ago, yet durable solutions can help to significantly reduce the cost of humanitarian responses. Refugees and host communities become self reliant when capacity building and investments in enterprises are combined to build economic integration and financial inclusion. Julienne Oyler Fayruz Adan

It’s inspiring to see Semhar and Kidst thriving! At Inkomoko, we’re committed to investing in bold entrepreneurs and connecting them to larger markets. With over $1.2M invested, our support has created 1500+ jobs across Ethiopia. Together, we are making growth a reality for communities in the land of 13 sunshines.
