Our Work
What We Do
Powering Innovators. Creating Resilient Communities.
AfroClimate’s work is structured around six key pillars that guide our support for climate entrepreneurs in Africa:
6
Specialist mentorship
Despite remarkable vision and expertise, climate entrepreneurs face internal obstacles that limit potential. Many founders struggle with strategic skill gaps, work overload, unclear long-term direction, and persistent stress. These challenges often create significant growth bottlenecks. Our tailored support addresses these barriers through specialist mentoring, introducing values-based leadership approaches that transform limitations into growth opportunities through practical guidance on strategic planning, operations, and sustainable leadership practices.

Impact Measurement
We offer a range of strategic & tactical media & communications support to those we partner with. These include brand and impact storytelling, media outreach & engagement (including legacy media, social media & events) and tailored strategic communications support.

Access to Funding
We provide direct & non direct financial support to innovative climate entrepreneurs through various funding mechanisms, including grants, patient capital, debt, and equity.
-
Early-stage grants to test and launch new projects.

Growth capital to scale proven solutions.
