Patrick’s friends in Redwood City, California United States, were aware of the poor state of life in Nigeria and many African communities, and how lack of funds and technical knowhow cripple so many local efforts.

Millions in underserved African communities lack reliable access to food, healthcare, and digital education. Traditional DONOR-BASED charity models often struggle to sustain impact. Crossbridge empowers nonprofits to build resilience, sustainability, and locally owned solutions.
Cross-bridge Africa is a Social Enterprise Incubator. We believe sustainable development begins with local innovation, community ownership, and financial viability. In today’s competitive and unpredictable donor landscape, nonprofits must evolve beyond donor-dependent charity alone. Social enterprise models offer Nonprofits financial resilience, self-reliance, and scalable impact.
Our incubator model equips locally based nonprofits with:
to launch social enterprises
where paying clients sustain free outreach
that expand from one town to multiple regions
for enterprise design and management – Training nonprofit leaders in enterprise management and donor engagement.
that attract donors and demonstrate measurable change
We are currently focused on empowering non-profit social Enterprises in Nigeria, with plans to expand across West Africa and the entire continent over time.
