About the CBA: Our Story
Who we are
The Christian Business Angels are Christians with business expertise relevant to the startup & operation of new businesses selected for growth of local employment in our target countries. Each member contributes time plus an annual tax-deductible donation in support of our investment activities.

How we started
The idea for a group of Christian “Business Angels” was conceived at the end of an entrepreneurs trip to Kenya to view the activities of Compassion International with babies, toddlers, schoolchildren and university students.
A trip with great impact!
How we operate
In simple terms, the CBA is active on 2 fronts:
-
The recruiting of Business Angels, members & resources from others who have been blessed like us, and ,
-
The deployment of those Business Angels & resources to existing & would-be entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Where we operate
As of 2023, the CBA is active as follows:
-
Regional chapters in Europe (Netherlands), North America (USA) and Africa (Kenya) with members from those countries and others, and,
-
Training & investment in Africa (Kenya) for the creation of in-country employment to help alleviate poverty.
