Aheza: six months already for our incubator in Rwanda

Six months ago, we launched Aheza, our incubation programme in Rwanda, in partnership with African Leaders Hub, our local coordinator.

Our ambition? To adapt and replicate the methodology Alter Start developed in Switzerland, as close as possible to local realities and needs.

In just six months, the momentum is already well under way. 🚀

Since the launch, we have already delivered

• One-to-one mentoring sessions every two weeks
• 3 group training sessions on feasibility studies, value proposition and market research
• And above all, the first very concrete results

The first very concrete results

• 🔹 Stock built: one entrepreneur built up stock worth RWF 89,000 (a margin of around 30%), which he thought impossible without 2 million.
• 🔹 1st contract: an entrepreneur in event decoration landed her first job, for the wedding of her mentor's sister.
• 🔹 In the spotlight: a videographer from the programme organised a shoot to document and showcase what is being built within Aheza.

Just six months. And already projects moving forward, opportunities emerging and a real entrepreneurial momentum taking shape.

🤝 We keep growing the ecosystem!
