We see a strong correlation between the success of African enterprise and the well being of the African society. As such we align ourselves with The Tony Elumelu Foundation.
The Tony Elumelu Foundation is an African based and funded not-for-profit institution, dedicated to the promotion and celebration of excellence in business leadership and entrepreneurship across Africa. As a 21st century catalytic philanthropy, the Foundation is committed to driving the continent's economic growth from within by proving the African private sector can itself be the primary generator of economic development.
The Tony Elumelu Foundation is also a pioneer in the adoption of impact investing as a means of catalysing economic change. Unlike most philanthropies, the Foundation sees grants as only one of a set of effective philanthropic tools and believes that for the start up and small and growing business segments, impact investing can be a more sustainable means of capitalisation because of the entrepreneurial rigor that comes with requiring a financial return.
