This SME has four separate potential investments in the silk and fiber value chain, managed together through vertical integration. All are related to the production of silk and fibers for use as anti-malarial bednets and temporary housing tents, for which there is significant unmet demand in Rwanda and East Africa. The SME hopes to extend the benefits provided by international organizations working to stop the spread of malaria by serving as a local supplier for the products they require.

Tent Production
The SME seeks investment for a tent manufacturing facility to serve the million-plus per year demand for UN and NGO-distributed temporary housing tents. This facility will require $2m in financing.
