Diamonds Do Good Entrepreneurial Grant

The Diamonds-Do-Good Entrepreneurial Grant is aimed to help build and nurture Africa’s future private sector, providing access to capital through small amount of money invested in different early-stage startups. The Grant is won by entrepreneurs who are selected through a African campaign managed by United People Global. In the inaugural year, the focus is on entrepreneurs from diamond-producing countries in southern Africa. It provides a minimum grant size of USD 5,000 and up to USD 20,000 to the selected winners.

The chosen winners come through the intense entrepreneurship ecosystem operated by United People Global: UPG Biashara.

Through the DDG Entrepreneurial Grant we are not giving a “handout”, instead we are giving a “hand up”: supporting entrepreneurship is a powerful way to do this.
