About

We support sustainable high-impact initiatives that provide innovative solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges in Africa. Our vision is to leverage relationships to create effective social impact solutions across Africa. We are on a mission to build sustainable societies by engaging initiatives that unleash potential and empower beneficiaries.

We provide organizations with grants to ensure sustainable action in areas that align with our priority focus areas.

Our strength lies in the partnerships we create and sustain through grants for interventions with the potential of overturning the downward trajectory of development on the continent.
