It particularly highlights the work of <strong>fair<\/strong> equity, a non-profit limited company dedicated to supporting start-ups and SMEs in Africa. Its approach: instead of traditional development aid, <strong>fair<\/strong> equity focuses on sustainable investments, the proceeds of which in turn flow into local social projects.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Karsten Wulf, co-founder of fair<\/strong> equity, emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in development cooperation. Instead of pure donations, which often achieve one-off effects, <strong>fair<\/strong> equity invests strategically in companies that create jobs and build long-term economic structures. Profits from these investments are not distributed to investors, but reinvested directly in charitable projects. This creates a self-sustaining cycle that promotes both economic and social sustainability.   <\/p>\n<p>One example of this approach is the planned entrepreneurial trip to Ghana. There, the <strong>fair<\/strong> equity team wants to work with local start-up founders and students to find out what support &#8211; in addition to financial resources &#8211; is crucial for long-term success. This direct exchange is part of <strong>fair<\/strong> equity&#8217;s philosophy: <strong>development aid at eye level<\/strong>, with the aim of creating structures that function independently of external aid.  <\/p>\n<p>With this innovative strategy, <strong>fair<\/strong> equity not only aims to provide capital, but also to bring knowledge, networks and entrepreneurial experience to the African markets. The Handelsblatt article shows: <strong>This form of impact investing could revolutionize the classic foundation idea<\/strong> &#8211; and <strong>fair<\/strong> equity is a pioneering model for sustainable development aid. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest report in Handelsblatt sheds light on a new generation of entrepreneurs who combine the principle of giving with modern financial instruments.
