Fatshimetrie recently organized a press conference highlighting two prominent figures in African entrepreneurship: Fatou Diarra and Guido Murhula Zigabe. Behind these names are inspiring stories and innovative initiatives that are shaping the continent’s economic landscape.
Fatou Diarra, originally from Guinea, is a visionary entrepreneur who co-founded PayCard SA in 2015. This Guinean fintech is revolutionizing the financial sector by offering an innovative electronic wallet solution associated with a prepaid card. Its goal is clear: to promote financial inclusion and reduce the risks associated with handling cash. A graduate of the University of Houston, Fatou Diarra embodies the excellence and determination of young African entrepreneurs who transform their vision into concrete action.
On the other side, we have Guido Murhula Zigabe, a Congolese entrepreneur with an atypical background. A graduate in international relations and philosophy from the University of Bukavu, he founded a start-up focused on the recovery of waste to produce ecological charcoal. This sustainable initiative aims to reduce the carbon footprint while offering an ecological alternative to traditional charcoal. Guido Murhula Zigabe embodies creativity and commitment to the environment, demonstrating that entrepreneurship can be a lever for positive change for the planet.
