Learning Lions provides ICT, design and business training and job creation through digital empowerment to marginalized youth in rural Turkana (Northern Kenya), enabling them to become creative professionals in the digital economy, following an innovative and wholistic approach of education.

BACKBONE South SME

Current mission

Philippines, Peru, Ivory Cost - Since 17/10/2017

In the developing countries, unemployment is a source of multiple troubles leading to political instability, social unrests and sometimes massive migration flows.
Supporting economic activity is essential to create jobs, thus enhance living conditions of the mass.
BACKBONE is a private initiative set up by former bankers who have dedicated their skills to social and economic development through services of mesofinance. That latter concept is addressing the existing financing gap between microcredits and banking loans, where a significant number of family businesses and cooperatives are and cannot grow because of a lack of access to funding.
BACKBONE is working with local partners to screen and select family companies and cooperatives of production that could achieve huge positive impact (such as improving social inclusion, securing good working conditions for their staff or mitigating environmental harms) if they would have a timely access to credits for their crops or for their daily financial needs for instance.
BACKBONE is expanding throughout Africa and Latin America.
