7 steps to succeed in social entrepreneurship in Africa

Are you wondering how to get started in social entrepreneurship in Africa, how to create a business that can positively impact your community, your country?

The Ricochets project went to meet 12 social entrepreneurs from West Africa. In the short film entitled “In their eyes”, these entrepreneurs talk about their journey to provide concrete solutions in the fields of energy, health, education, agriculture, handicrafts or recycling…

Ultimately, the path of a social entrepreneur can be summarized in 7 major steps:
1. Observe around you
2. Know where to invest
3. Manage the gaze of others
4. Taking action
5. Fighting for your project
6. Getting results
7. To grow
