Empowering African youth to develop and establish successful businesses.

1Africa Inc. is being founded to address a number of injustices that Paul Kato, the founder, perceives to hold back young African entrepreneurs. Namely, the lack of capital for young Africans to pursue their dreams, lack of vision and focus from the general populace due to insufficient care or nurturing, governmental hurdles that do not encourage the entrepreneurial spirit, and the suppression that has been brought to bear on the African mentality from years of abuse and disinformation.
