Who We Are
We are a social enterprise supporting social-mission driven organisations across Africa to scale their impact and strengthen the continent's social impact ecosystem. We provide management support and tailored programs for social enterprises and create new enterprises through our Densu Design Box. Led by Africans, we are committed to accelerating growth and developing a stronger social enterprise sector in Africa.
Our Story
Our founders’ vision was based on the belief that Africa’s social impact organisations have the capability to solve some of the most pressing challenges on the continent. Her experience over the years showed that the sector needed more than goodwill, it needed sustainable models, strong partnerships and a supportive ecosystem. With this in mind, we set out to build a social enterprise to walk alongside other social mission-driven organisations and help them grow sustainably.
The name, Densu, was inspired by the Densu River, a vital lifeline in Ghana. Flowing through a rich agricultural region, the river nourishes the land, supplies half of Accra’s drinking water, and ends in a thriving wetland that supports diverse ecosystems. Like the river, our work is about sustaining lives and livelihoods, connecting systems, and enabling growth from the grassroots to the broader landscape.
At Densu, we create and deliver programs and provide strategic support tailored to the real needs of social enterprises. But we don’t stop at individual success, we’re here to strengthen the entire ecosystem. Our story is one of collaboration and the belief that by working together, we can build a future where impact flows farther and deeper, just like the river that inspired us.
