Guiding Green Forward
VIA Foundation is Africa’s first institution dedicated to financing community organizations and local enterprises that restore degraded land.
In Africa, local people hold the key to combating land degradation, but capital for their projects is difficult to access. To scale up investment, efficient financial intermediary that understands the reality of these restoration champions, their donors, and their investors is key. Based in Rwanda and operating across the continent, VIA Foundation fills that gap.
