Building transformative businesses across Africa, Middle East and Asia — raising living standards for hundreds of millions of people.
Africa Business Corporation and Development Limited (ABCD) is a diversified enterprise group headquartered in Dubai, UAE. We identify, invest in, and build exceptional businesses across Healthcare, Financial Services, Technology, Energy, and Real Estate.
Our operations span 15+ countries across three continents — serving over 15 million people annually through purpose-driven companies with deep roots in Kenya and East Africa.
Behind every statistic is a mother who received prenatal care, a child who saw a doctor for the first time, a farmer who got insurance — real lives transformed.
Lifecare Hospitals and Bliss clinics put qualified doctors within walking distance of Kenya's peri-urban communities — no more hours of travel for basic care.
