Ohala Capital
Connecting investments to viable SMEs in the Lake Victoria region.
COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP
April2024
Recognizing that access to finance is a major challenge for many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Ohala leverages its extensive network of financial partners and industry stakeholders to attract capital to the region. Through targeted investor engagement and relationship building, we aim to match viable enterprises with investors who are aligned with our vision of sustainable growth in the Lake Region.
Our approach is both strategic and hands-on. We work closely with entrepreneurs to identify investment needs and ensure they are well-prepared to receive and deploy capital effectively. By providing capacity-building support, financial structuring guidance, and facilitating access to concessional funding, Ohala helps de-risk investments in regional enterprises, creating confidence among investors. This not only strengthens the businesses themselves but also stimulates job creation and economic diversification, reinforcing the region’s economic resilience.
We place a strong emphasis on the blue economy, recognizing the unique potential of Lake Victoria and its ecosystem as an economic driver. By focusing on sectors like fisheries, aquaculture, water-based tourism, and sustainable maritime services, we aim to unlock opportunities that align environmental stewardship with economic gain. Through these efforts, Ohala is committed to building a robust investment landscape that fosters sustainable growth and prosperity for Lake Region communities.
