Barka Fund is an accelerator and seed impact fund, backing founders in Africa building companies to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Excited to spotlight our first climate entrepreneur of the year for our “Conversations with a Climate Entrepreneur series.’ Meet Elijah, a restoration champion from the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, doing incredible work!

🌍 We had a blast today kicking off our Virtual Learning Labs with our incredible entrepreneurs from Kenya's Great Rift Valley!
We dove into 'The Entrepreneur's Growth Mindset' and shared some ‘million-dollar growth in just a few years’ success stories from across Africa...
Our hearts are with the entrepreneurial community in Goma, DRC during these challenging times. The resilience of young men and women who have built local restoration businesses in the face of unprecedented challenges continues to inspire us all.
To our fellow entrepreneurs, partners, and friends in Goma: your safety is paramount. Please take care. The global business community remains united behind you, and we're committed to supporting the recovery and growth of restoration enterprises when peace returns.
Honored to be in Kigali this week at the @WorldResources' Partners Capacity Building Workshop, where we're sharing our expertise on ‘Scaling Landscape Restoration Through Market-Based Solutions’.
The relationships we've built along the way have been equally rewarding – from newest partners https://t.co/Kqr47vvcDB to long-standing ones @WyldeInt .
True to our name @BarkaFund, which means 'gratitude,' we're deeply thankful for these partnerships that enable our mission.
We couldn't have said it better!
