The fund seeks to prove that “small amounts of philanthropic capital, combined with large doses of business acumen, can build thriving enterprises that serve vast numbers of the poor”.
Founded in 2001, the fund provides extraordinary young professionals with fellowship opportunities to use their skills to effect real social change through the organisation’s market-based approaches in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, India and Pakistan. It encourages collaboration with local entrepreneurs on price performance, logistics, distribution systems, scaling and technology.
