\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReligious and faith-based institutions have been pivotal to poverty alleviation efforts in Africa. Catholic Sisters are often the first point of contact for community members in need of support. In 2021, African Diaspora Network launched the Start Your Social Enterprise initiative to help accelerate the entrepreneurial skills of Catholic Sisters who are connected to underserved communities facing poverty and other challenges across the Continent. How have Sisters transformed their charity models into sustainable social enterprises? What challenges and opportunities do they experience as grassroots entrepreneurs? What impact do these Builders of Africa\u2019s Future make in their local communities? Learn more about these humble yet impactful movements led by faith-driven changemakers.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
