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
Education through technology
The project aims to enable 446 girls and 350 boys (ages 13-16) from two public secondary schools, in Karatu district, to have access to information technology, computer studies, global information resources, and training.
Education / Environment
Women-led beekeeping enterprise
This innovative project aims to establish a women-led beekeeping and honey production enterprise to mitigate human-elephant conflict.
Education / Health
Masaai Mara Adolescent Health Services
The project led by CHASE Africa, in Narok County in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya, builds on a previous project that successfully promoted access to reproductive health knowledge, information and services for adolescents and youth.
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.
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.
