Africa is experiencing rapid and sustained population growth, with projections indicating that the continent’s population will reach 2.5 billion by 2050.
Around 80% of Africa’s inhabitants live in sub-Saharan countries, where hunger, food insecurity, and widespread poverty remain daily challenges.
To help these communities cope with the coming demographic boom, it is crucial to act proactively by fostering the development of local economies.
Although substantial humanitarian aid flows into the continent’s poorest nations, it often falls short of its goals, hampered by mismanagement and a lack of long-term continuity once funding runs out.
In this context, SABI aims to be a catalyst for economic development, operating across West African countries with the ambition to extend its model to other underdeveloped regions of the continent.
SABI sets itself apart from the traditional aid-based approach by focusing on locally driven value creation. While donations are a noble gesture, they often have the unintended consequence of fostering a dependency mindset, where communities become accustomed to receiving aid rather than learning to generate value independently.
SABI promotes loans over grants to instill a sense of responsibility among local entrepreneurs. It believes that meaningful results come only through sustained, day-to-day collaboration. Above all, SABI embraces a business-oriented approach, recognizing it as the key to ensuring the continuity and long-term impact of development projects.
