🌊 Tomorrow is World Water Day. In honor of this important day, we recognize the 2.2 billion people worldwide who lack access to safe water - a fundamental human right and a core Sustainable Development Goal.

We're proud to highlight OceanHub Africa (OHA), a Triple Jump investee and pioneering force in ocean-impact innovation. OHA accelerates ocean-minded startups that develop wavemaking solutions for marine conservation, sustainable fisheries, climate resilience, and water stewardship across the African continent to build a future where people and the ocean thrive.

Established in 2004, Triple Jump investee Sumac Microfinance Bank Ltd was created by 15 visionary investors in Kenya who recognized the difficulties people faced accessing finance from commercial banks. They pooled their resources to create a credit-only institution, providing loans to the public.  Sumac CEO John Njihia said "We opened our first branch in Ngara, just a kilometer from Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) and since then, we’ve steadily expanded, opening branches in key areas like the CBD, agricultural regions in Kiambu County, and towns like Narok and Thika. Today, we have seven service areas and approximately 17,000 clients."  Sumac focuses on serving small and medium enterprises, helping them grow. "We see businesses start small, take subsequent loans, and eventually expand, sometimes even opening new branches. It’s incredibly rewarding." Sumac is supported by Triple Jump’s Oxfam Novib Fund. Valued at 44 million euros, the Oxfam Novib Fund (ONF) is dedicated to enhancing resilience in response to the escalating effects of climate change. ONF supports microfinance institutions (MFIs) that focus on underserved markets and target specific groups: rural communities, small-scale agricultural producers and women borrowers.   #FinancialInclusion #SMEs #EconomicEmpowerment #Kenya
