WHO WE ARE
ABOUT
About Nampelka
Our name, Nampelka, originates from a Mapuche word meaning 'traveler.' Inspired by our own journeys, we embarked on a mission to explore entrepreneurship in Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, and Rwanda.
Despite cultural and economic hurdles, we encountered resilient entrepreneurs crafting high-quality natural products. Motivated by our impactful encounters, we envisioned Nampelka as a platform to connect African entrepreneurs with international experts, fostering cross-cultural collaboration.
Our mission is to challenge and rebalance the dynamics between African and Western societies, amplifying Africa's entrepreneurial potential and fostering genuine equality and mutual learning
The Learning Experience
We offer selected learning paths to support our Growers and Enablers during their peer to peer expereince in developing solutions to business challenges in the African market.
