Impact

Dr. Chris Silali (center) leads GenePlus, a company that offers advanced breeding solutions to support farmers in rural Kenya.

We're planting seeds for generational flourishing in some of the hardest places.

What began in 2010 as a passion to alleviate poverty and make disciples of Jesus by accelerating businesses has grown into a global movement of Kingdom entrepreneurs. Sinapis now offers entrepreneurs support from idea- through growth-stage, workshops and networking opportunities, discipleship, and a global network of mentors, advisors, and investors.

Now available in 15 countries, Sinapis manages our own programs within East Africa in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, and partners with organizations in 12 other nations who contextualize our services for their country’s unique needs and opportunities.
Every year we survey our graduates to track their collective business, social, and spiritual impact. Here's the impact Sinapis has had to date:

Data matters to us because people matter to us.

At Sinapis, we love data because it allows us to assess the impact of our work in the lives and communities of the entrepreneurs we serve. Are businesses growing? Are jobs being created? Are individuals understanding and applying their values and their faith in their lives and work? Collecting and analyzing data helps us improve our services and understand how Kingdom entrepreneurship contributes to poverty alleviation and human flourishing.
