💰🌍 Meet Rekia Foudel: The Fundraiser Fueling Climate Innovation 🌍💰
When Rekia Foudel returned to Niger, she saw a major gap—climate entrepreneurs were everywhere, but funding wasn’t. Determined to change that, she founded The Barka Fund, an impact investment group bridging the financial gap for climate-focused startups across Sub-Saharan Africa. Prioritizing women-led and youth-driven enterprises, the fund supports businesses too big for #microfinance but too small for traditional investors—helping program participants raise over $1 million in 2024 alone. 💰
Foudel has also played a key role in securing $437 million in development aid for Niger, benefiting 4 million people through climate-resilient infrastructure. She’s redefining finance for #climate action, proving that local solutions deserve global investment. 🌍
This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate Rekia Foudel, a powerhouse driving change where it’s needed most.
