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.
Community Development / Environment
Forest restoration and sustainable livelihoods
The project aims to enable 1,000 people in the Gamo community who live near Lake Chamo and Lake Abaya to replenish local forestry and create sustainable livelihoods for themselves.
Education / Community Development
Increasing food security and diversifying incomes
The project aims to support local farmers in growing chilies, within the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park (MPNP) region, in order to both reduce elephant human conflict and provide a secondary income for local farmers.
Education / Community Development
Community development projects
The GLAMI two-day challenge is a special undertaking that involves the coordination and implementation of small, impactful community projects designed by Kisa Scholars. Kisa is a two-year leadership course that prepares girls in their last two years of secondary school to attend university and create positive social change in their communities.
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.
