Kindly Donate to support us
The Seed Capital & Grants Support component of the LBESST Programme is a funding initiative by EOCDF designed to provide financial assistance and resources to small but scalable startups, early-stage profitable businesses or sustainable projects that require initial capital to get off the ground. This initiative also aims to support innovative and promising ventures by offering them seed funding or grants, which are typically non-repayable funds, to help them overcome initial financial challenges and launch their endeavours successfully.
The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development in Obontser and its environs by giving aspiring young entrepreneurs and self-sustaining innovative projects the financial boost they need in their early stages when securing traditional funding might be more challenging due to higher risks associated with such ventures.
