Our mission is to fight the root causes of poverty, in Africa and the Middle East, by supporting projects focusing on four core areas of work.
We believe that, together, Health, Education, Community development and the Environment are essential to sustainable development. Our projects take a holistic approach and are anchored in local communities ensuring that actions are relevant and viable for the long-term.
Education / Community Development
Supporting people with a mobility impairing disability
The project aims to support people with mobility impairment in achieving long-term self-reliance, economic empowerment, financial inclusion, and social inclusion in Mombasa and Nairobi Counties. It also aims to change the narrative around People Living With a Disability (PLWD), usually perceived as powerless and a burden to society.
Health / Education
Access to secondary education and opportunity
The project aims to address the root cause of generational poverty amongst youth in Mombasa, through access to education and opportunity. More specifically, 30 high-potential students (15 girls and 15 boys) from low-income families will be supported in their last two years of high school education along with mentoring on soft skills that will support the youth to excel in their education and future professional careers.
Health / Education
Improving access to education, nutrition and agroforestry
This project builds on successes and evaluations, with the local communities, of the Agroforestry program previously funded in 2019. It aims to improve access to education for 200 (predominantly) female students through the provision of bicycles, and educate 1,500 school children and 1,000 parents and community members on agroforestry, environment, climate change adaptations, protection of local biodiversity and nutrition.
We have been supporting projects run by non-profit organisations since 1996, with the aim of helping poor communities in Africa and the Middle East to sustainably rise out of poverty.
The Foundation accepts proposals at all times of the year. Selected projects are submitted to the Foundation’s Board, which meets 4 times per year. We thank you for your interest in the Foundation and invite you to submit your request.
