Our Mission
The African continent is characterized by population growth that shows no sign of slowing down, in fact it is expected that by 2050 the total number of inhabitants will reach 2.5 billion people.
80% of the population of the entire continent lives in sub-Saharan countries, where hunger, food insecurity and poverty are commonplaces.
In order to support these populations to face the future huge demographic growth, it is necessary to act in advance by developing local economies.
The humanitarian aid that is destined for the poorest countries of the continent is consistent, but often fails in its purpose due to poor management or because it does not foresee continuity when the funds expire.
In this context, SABI is meant to be an agent of Economic development operating in West African Countries but with the target of expanding its model in the whole poorest part of the Continent.
SABI differs from the classic donatory approach as it believes in the local creation of value: although the donation is an honorable gesture, in many cases, this has the side-effect of distorting the local mentality that has become accustomed over time to receiving aid and is unable to understand the concept of creation of value by itself and for itself.
SABI promotes loans over grants to rise responsibility among the local entrepreneurs; It believes that concrete results can only be achieved by working together day after day; Finally, SABI works with a business-oriented approach as it is the key to guarantee continuity to projects.
