Support is designed to be catalytic in that it helps to mobilise greater investment or support for target projects, organisations and landscapes by leveraging the Foundation’s networks, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), impact investors and capital markets. By taking an active role in the development, monitoring and evaluation of projects, the Foundation aims to build long lasting partnerships and grow sustainable business models. 

Funded from within the Group through its subsidiaries, the Foundation works to provide long-term financial and technical support to organizations that protect and restore natural landscapes and make them economically viable for local communities. 

Vision: To be a globally renowned sustainable development institution supporting legacy projects across Africa.

Mission: To provide long-term and large-scale support for African projects that protect biodiversity, ecosystem services and improve the wellbeing of communities and people.

The local communities in the regions we work across are central to the success of our legacy projects. One of our primary objectives of our legacy projects is to help people co-exist with nature by generating local revenue through ecotourism, honey production, sustainable charcoaling, well-managed livestock, and ocean fisheries. 

With an urgent need to address the growing loss of nature in the coming years, we aim to substantially grow the size and impact of our legacy projects across the region and cultivate a sustainable future for both people and nature.
