Aisiki focuses on women and youth led companies, as well as companies with a developmental impact stemming from the belief that this represents the greatest potential for job creation and economic development.
The name Aisiki means “prosperity” in the Yoruba language. It was inspired by the strength, diligence and resilience commonly demonstrated by women across the continent from all walks of life as they constantly seek opportunities to uplift, provide for and build their homes, families, communities and individual capabilities.
As an impact fund, Aisiki believes that a holistic model, which recognises the requirement to address all stakeholders when structuring investment opportunities, is a critical element of successful investing in developing economies.
A key differentiator for Aisiki Impact Fund when compared to tradition debt and equity funds will be the strategic role the fund will play to place social impact at the core of everything we do.
