LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS BECOME GLOBAL CHANGEMAKERS
ABOUT
THE PROJECT
Ventures For Humanity – (r)evolution journey
Ventures For Humanity is an accelerator for micro‑entrepreneurs from Africa and Asia who want to create solutions that support communities receiving humanitarian aid. We connect local innovators with global organizations, mentors, and experts so their ideas can move from concept to real implementation and scalable impact.
It is a space where entrepreneurship meets empathy, and technology serves the people who need it most.
Because the best ideas are born where needs are most visible. Because local entrepreneurs understand their communities better than anyone else. Because the humanitarian sector needs innovation that is practical, accessible, and rooted in real‑world contexts.
Ventures For Humanity builds a bridge between micro‑entrepreneurs and organizations such as Save The Children Global Ventures, Polish Humanitarian Action, Polish Medical Mission, and other partners eager to implement solutions created close to the people they serve.
