A Business Community Portal to facilitate the expansion and growth of African businesses outside their national borders:
Current Stage: Coding and development

One of the areas in need of development in Africa is that of the exposure of African businesses to opportunities and development. Many businesses in Africa are limited partly because of a limited market. These businesses are constrained by state borders, a very poor distribution system and inter-state regulations. Many businesses do not have access to a market outside their country and have little or no international connections.

In an effort to address this need that has been identified through our surveys, Develop Africa, Inc. is in the process of developing a business portal that will facilitate information sharing, networking and business development. This website will be dedicated to the promotion of one of Develop Africa's core goals - Entrepreneurship and Investment. This aspect will help to develop Africa by promoting business growth and income generation for local economies.

In the developed world, there is a big push towards outsourcing and the manufacturing / purchasing of goods from Asia, South America etc. Africa offers tremendous potential in this regard as a market that has not fully been tapped.

The concept is to develop a community business portal / database providing a hub or meeting point for investors, entrepreneurs and business owners. A forum will provide a venue for the discussion of business issues such as tariffs, trade and best practices etc.

The business network portal will serve the following purposes:

1. Enable African businesses to expand their market outside their local countries.

2. African businesses will be able to connect with other businesses in other African countries or other countries world-wide.

3. Business in the developed world will be able to research and find African businesses / partners.

3. Business will be able to network and share ideas with other businesses.

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁

You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
