Voices of Impact

Partner Success Stories

Hear from our investee companies as they share their impact journey and celebrate the transformation enabled by SIMA’s support.
Judith Marera CEO, Lanforce Energy

“Without this loan, it would have been very difficult for us to keep the company running as our products are sold on a PAYG model so as to make it affordable to the bottom of the pyramid, which is our target market”
Sharon Yeti CEO, PowerLive Zimbabwe

“EARF funding has been timely, helping us not retrench any employees but stay afloat. Without the funding, we would have definitely closed the business. With the help of EARF, all the women sales agents were able to take care of their families”
Arnoud de Vroomen CEO and Co-Founder, SolarWorks

“After three years of very difficult circumstances from COVID and cyclones, EARF funding made it possible for SolarWorks to combat supply chain consequences and show its potential – grew 60% in Mozambique and almost 100% in Malwai, and showed EBITDA positive results on a group level”
Carlo Figa Talamanca CEO and Founder, OTAGO

“EARF funding has been very timely and useful help since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020”
Catherine Adelmann CEO and Founder, Fosera

“EARF funding really gave us the possibility after a very very difficult year of COVID to restart our business”
