- WHO WE ARE -
REAL IMPACT CAN BE ACCELERATED IN MANY WAYS NOT YET FULLY REALIZED
Backed by research, data and local intelligence, our Mission is a critical response to societal challenges affecting people, their communities and the systems that support them to thrive.
Our simple, yet powerful model for delivering Real Impact positions the individuals and communities as the drivers of change, and energises businesses, philanthropies and institutions as unconventional catalysts.
- Human-Centered Approaches
- Localized Solutions
- Intuitive Financing
Using the science of behavioral economics to influence positive change required to adapt, sustain & scale high-impact development solutions.
Deploy context-specific interventions to enable communities to become more socially resilient and self-reliant.
Channel impact-driven financing to where it is critically needed, especially usually amongst those excluded by traditional instruments.

SOLVING PRESSING SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN AFRICA REQUIRES INNOVATIVE, ENTREPRENEURIAL, AND SCALABLE STRATEGIES BACKED BY EVIDENCE AND SCIENCE
Development aid has been a key driver for social and economic growth – bridging the domestic development financing gap in Africa. Traditional social innovation and funding models are becoming obsolete, development aid is increasingly declining, and social problems are getting more complicated.
Social development efforts are often standalone, falling short of scaling up sustainably and delivering system-wide transformation. Many businesses are still narrow-minded in strategy, policies, and practice by thinking solely about financial return rather than more rounded and sustainable growth opportunities delivering blended social and economic value.Â
More innovative, homegrown, and market-driven approaches to delivering and sustainably scaling up proven-to-work next-generation solutions are needed to catalyze transformative change.Â
Addressing this barrier is core to our mission.
