Where We Operate
Through year-end 2024, Missio Invest has issued loans to 99 small and growing businesses across ten countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Cameroon) and is expanding to DRC, Cote D’Ivoire, Benin, Burkina Faso and other countries in the near term.
