Enaleni Community

Enaleni Community is a local diaspora investment platform set up by a group of female diaspora investors based in the UK, Global Native, in Enaleni, in rural Zimbabwe, in 2018. The platform, involving over 50 diaspora investors was used to set up and finance a local agricultural cooperative in Zimbabwe. Within a few years, it managed to attract almost £150,000 of blended finance (diaspora investment and grants), created 25 full-time decent jobs, provided income to thousands of farmers and their families with the associated social impact and stimulated local economic development. The platform has directly benefitted 10,000 farmers and over 40,000 local community members indirectly.
