Empowering
Women-Owned Social Enterprises for Climate Resilience & Economic Empowerment in Underserved Communities in Middle East and Africa
Our Story
Our journey is rooted in a steadfast belief in social enterprises—organizations created to address environmental and/or social challenges, demonstrating both financial sustainability and a significant positive impact on society and the environment. We envision a future where every company evolves into a social enterprise, not merely a company with a CSR/ ESG division, but one that prioritizes innovative solutions to enhance the well-being of humanity on Earth.
At the heart of our mission is the empowerment of women. We recognize their vital role in building resilient communities and shaping future generations. Yet, women-led social enterprises remain severely underfunded and under-supported. We are committed to equipping them with the resources, financing and strategic support they need to thrive and lead transformative change.

Get to Know Us
RAMA Impact is an impact-first fund dedicated to supporting early stage women-owned social enterprises working at the intersection of climate resilience and economic empowerment in underserved communities across the Middle East and Africa.
Our goal is to help these enterprises strengthen their foundations, scale sustainably and become ready for impact investment. This type of catalytic capital—designed specifically for “missing middle” social enterprises—is critically under-provided in the region, where 91% of such ventures exit the market within 4 to 6 years due to a lack of adequate support.
The Loan Track
This offering provides 0% interest, collateral-free loans ranging between USD 5,000 and USD 40,000 repayable over 12 to 18 months with adaptable repayment schedules. These loans are designed to help scale operations, improve financial resilience and unlock access to further impact investment. In addition to funding, participants receive hands-on mentorship and technical support throughout the entire repayment period.
The Pre-Loan Track
This pathway is exclusively offered to applicants who, while not meeting the minimum eligibility criteria for our loan program, demonstrate strong potential. The Pre-Loan Program provides 12 months of tailored non-financial support focused on strengthening strategy, operations and financial preparedness. It’s our way of nurturing high-potential enterprises toward future loan readiness.
We believe that every woman holds the power to shape her destiny and influence the world around her
What sets us apart
What sets Rama Impact apart is its holistic approach, which includes not only financial support but also a range of valuable initiatives. These initiatives encompass one to one intervention based programs, well-being programs, mentorship programs and access to a thriving online community of like-minded women. This comprehensive strategy not only fosters the growth of women-owned social enterprises but also nurtures a culture of mutual inspiration and support, creating a thriving ecosystem where women can learn, connect and flourish together.
