🌳 Meet Damaris, our youngest visionary in the GRV 2025 cohort! Through Daben wa Miti Enterprise, she's transforming idle land into thriving forests.
Her innovative service helps landowners convert unutilized plots into productive green spaces, addressing both deforestation and land underutilization challenges.

🌍 We had a blast today kicking off our Virtual Learning Labs with our incredible entrepreneurs from Kenya's Great Rift Valley!
We dove into 'The Entrepreneur's Growth Mindset' and shared some ‘million-dollar growth in just a few years’ success stories from across Africa...
...that had everyone's entrepreneurial wheels turning. 💪

Our hearts are with the entrepreneurial community in Goma, DRC during these challenging times. The resilience of young men and women who have built local restoration businesses in the face of unprecedented challenges continues to inspire us all.

Honored to be in Kigali this week at the @WorldResources' Partners Capacity Building Workshop, where we're sharing our expertise on ‘Scaling Landscape Restoration Through Market-Based Solutions’.
The relationships we've built along the way have been equally rewarding – from newest partners Regeneration.io to long-standing ones @WyldeInt .
True to our name @BarkaFund, which means 'gratitude,' we're deeply thankful for these partnerships that enable our mission.
We couldn't have said it better!
📹 Take a moment to watch this video and hear directly from the founders in our 3rd Investment Readiness Cohort as they share their experiences from this week's kickoff.
