Youssou N'Dour

Birima SA operates as a micro credit financial institution. It provides financial services for SMEs, craftspeople, professionals and artists and is working in banks, credit unions and financial activity business activities. The firm aspires to stand apart from most existing microfinance institutions in Senegal by focusing more in medium sized loans to promote an emerging entrepreneurial middle class, rather than merely focusing on very short term micro-loans and groups-lending which is already offered by many development and NGO backed MFIs. The company was founded by Youssou N'Dour in 2008 and is headquartered in Dakar, Senegal.

Malaria No More engages in raising awareness and mobilizing public support to end malaria. It provides life-saving bed nets and other critical interventions to families in Africa. The company was founded by Peter Chernin and Raymond G. Chambers in 2006 and is headquartered in Seattle, WA.
