It starts with our belief in the power of growth. Growth that is achieved by empowering individuals to start today, to succeed tomorrow. For an aspiring entrepreneur, growth is access to mentorship and funding. For a student, it’s gaining the skills to unlock future success. For a small business owner, growth comes from finding the right support to expand sustainably. At Absa, we’re all about driving financial inclusion through entrepreneurship, creating pathways to sustainable success for young African entrepreneurs. We’ve invested R1.53 billion over the past five years through education, entrepreneurship and employability initiatives, impacting 1.7 million people. We won’t stop there. Through our partnerships and initiatives, we will continue to empower young people and women across Africa to take bold steps forward, so they can proudly say #IGrewIt.
