Across the globe, social innovators are reimagining what it means to thrive.
In communities building lasting opportunity on their own terms, something remarkable is happening. Changemakers are creating local solutions, launching businesses, and growing futures from the ground up, futures rooted in access, not aid.
At Sustainable Access Foundation (SAF), we open doors, removing the financial and structural barriers that can slow this kind of progress. Our 12-week accelerator program equips local leaders with business literacy, mentorship, and meaningful market connections. After that, we walk alongside them as they build models that last.
In our first two years, more than 50 Changemakers have taken part in our accelerator, growing community-led ventures that have increased household incomes by an average of 35%. That kind of impact doesn't stop at the source. It spreads into jobs, classrooms, and health, bringing forth hope.
Every $25 gift sponsors one fruit tree in Kamuli, Uganda, and also helps fund community-grown businesses and expand local microloans. And through December 31, your impact will be matched.
These aren’t ordinary trees. They nourish families with food, generate income, and fuel a circular economy driven by people, not programs.
When you support SAF, you’re not donating to a cause. You’re investing in a future defined by local leadership and planting the kind of progress that lasts.
