It is undeniable that meeting the development goals of African countries not only requires industrial infrastructure investments, but also social and environmental investments to build workforce readiness, train local leaders and entrepreneurs, develop skills and local enterprises, meet the basic health and education needs of the population, and limit risks through climate resilience.

In previous years, ARISE Group has invested in several initiatives aimed at strengthening the social and environmental resilience of local communities. Although those initiatives significantly impacted the targeted communities, they were often scattered and completed on a limited scale.

ARISE Foundation is addressing those shortcomings and positioning itself as a one-stop shop for major sustainability programs of ARISE Group.

Our work is focused on empowering local leaders, entrepreneurs, and communities to thrive in the face of change.

Our
Approach

At ARISE Foundation, we believe in the unlimited potential of Africa and its people. We are inspired by the way communities have come together to protect their natural resources and build a better future for themselves and future generations.

We recognize that each community and individual is unique, and therefore we take a holistic approach to our investments, tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each community. Through a combination of grants, donations, technical assistance, and low-interest loans, we strive to create positive change and build a more equitable and sustainable future for all. We honor Africa’s resilience in the face of sustainability challenges using the following approaches:

Empowering local organizations through grants:

By providing monetary support to organizations working to advance our vision, we aim to empower local communities and ensure that their voices are heard. Our grants are tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each organization, reflecting our belief in the importance of individualized support.

Strengthening communities through donations:

Our donations of essential resources, tools, and services help to increase the capacities for health and education in the communities we serve. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare and education, and our donations are an expression of that belief.

Technical assistance with a human touch:

Our team of highly skilled experts offers technical assistance at a preferential rate, providing companies with the knowledge and expertise they need to reduce their carbon footprint. We understand that technology can sometimes feel impersonal, which is why we strive to approach our work with empathy and a human touch, always considering the people and communities we serve.

Supporting local enterprises through low-interest loans:

By providing low-interest loans to local enterprises, we aim to support their development and increase the impact of their ambitious projects and ventures. We believe in empowering local businesses and communities to drive their own progress and succeed on their own terms.
