JOB DETAILS:
Capital Solutions Ltd (CSL) is a Social Enterprise that started operation in 2014 to inspire, transform and build capacity of social entrepreneurs working with low-income communities in Africa. CSL was formed out of the need to build sustainable social enterprises through improved financial accessibility and designing innovative and impactful solutions.

The main Goal for Capital solutions is to improve access to finance and strengthen the capacity of social entrepreneurs for sustainable social and economic impact. This is where the backbone of the social investment fund is coming from.
The Social Investment Fund (SIF) was started by CSL in January 2020 as an impact Fund for Social Enterprises based in Africa to target women-led and youth led enterprises providing them with patient capital and loans to improve their financial accessibility.
