CDC finance mid-sized companies in Africa with the main focus being job creation. These six films focus on companies in Tanzania and Sierra Leone.
Hawa (top) works for Chai Bora, a tea manufacturing and processing company based in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania, and is living with HIV.
Having a job with the company means she's able to access the medication she needs and she's also been able to send her children to school.
Danford Mpalanzi (bottom left) works for Songas, one of the largest independent power producers in Tanzania.
The business generates around 20 per cent of the entire country's electricity at its plant in the capital, Dar es Salaam.
Danford takes pride in his job in the energy sector because he sees how important it is to Tanzania's future success.
It is vital to homes and businesses, yet only around one in five people in the country have access to electricity.
James Fornah (bottom right) tells the story of Miro Forestry - a sustainable timber company in Sierra Leone.
His job at Miro enables him to contribute in an area he's passionate about - reducing the effects of climate change.
It also means he can support his family and, using his income, he's built their home near to the plantation in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone.
