About the Foundation
The Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation was established to catalyze Africa’s economic transformation by focusing on social entrepreneurship, science and technology, innovation, public health, and progressive policies that create economic opportunities for all. The Foundation works in partnership with local governments, policy makers, private enterprises, civil society organizations as well as development partners to expand the resources available to entrepreneurs, farmers, and small business owners in addition to improving individual livelihoods. This Challenging mission is operationalized within its Small Business and?Entrepreneurship Center (SBEC), synergizing with the Nkafu Policy Institute. The former supports SMEs across the country and promotes business-friendly policies that stimulate innovation and job creation, while the latter is a nonpartisan, independent think tank with the mission to provide in-depth and insightful policy recommendations. These platforms are highly supported in their mission by dynamic communication and administrative teams.
