Assistive Technologies for Disability Trust

Africa’s first disability led impact fund for assistive technology ventures 

More than 200 million people in Africa live with disabilities, yet access to assistive technology remains limited. At the same time, local engineers and entrepreneurs are developing practical solutions, from electric wheelchairs built for uneven city streets to affordable communication devices designed for local markets. 

Assistive Technologies for Disability Trust operates Africa’s first disability led impact fund dedicated to early stage assistive technology ventures. Through the Momentous Fund, founders receive catalytic capital and structured venture support to refine products, strengthen operations and attract follow on investment. With capital directed by disability leaders and focused on urban markets, assistive technology enterprises are gaining the backing needed to move from promising products to viable businesses embedded in city economies.
