Learn MoreRegenerative Entrepreneurship
SEA embraces a regenerative entrepreneurship model—one that goes beyond sustainability to restore, renew, and enhance the economy, environment and community. This emerging approach envisions an economic system where the pursuit of prosperity inherently strengthens the health and vitality of both natural and social systems. It calls for designing businesses and markets as forces for good, where economic activity actively generates more value than it consumes. Through this model, SEA aims to foster a resilient, equitable, and abundant future for all, ensuring that regenerative entrepreneurs not only create profit but also regenerate the foundations on which all prosperity depends.

Restore is about fixing what's broken.
Renew communities

What Our Entrepreneurs Say
Hear directly from Ethiopian entrepreneurs who have transformed their businesses through our programs and support.
“If you are educated but not commercializing your knowledge, then you are no different from those who never went to school. SEA gives me this opportunity to translate knowledge into tangible outcomes in starting my business”.
“My journey with the Sheger Entrepreneurs Association (SEA) has been truly transformative,” says Birktawit, owner of Milo Health and Wellness Group. “Through the entrepreneurial training and financial access facilitated by SEA, my company has evolved from a small pharmacy into a proactive and dynamic business.
“SEA’s support has been a turning point in our journey,” says Jaleta, Managing Director of Ameya Agro-Machinery Manufacturing. SEA’s training and facilitation didn’t just empower our business; it fueled innovation, resilience, and a renewed commitment to transforming agricultural livelihoods through clean energy.”
“The training completely reshaped our business mindset — helping us think more strategically and manage operations more efficiently. Access to capital, on the other hand, eased our liquidity challenges and allowed us to pursue growth opportunities that were once out of reach.”
