To invest and secure investment in to projects and programmes that address Africa’s challenges in the areas of health, education and development, entrepreneurship and sport.
OUR MANDATE
The foundation is mandated to give effect to its vision and mission through tailormade programmes, including and not limited to events, workshops, public seminars, digital courses, conferences, masterclasses, roadshows, sporting events, development forums, feeding schemes, coaching, mentoring, scholarships and bursaries.
We work with global and regional partners, multi-lateral agencies, African governments, development partners, the private sector and the community, to achieve our goals.
This will be achieved by raising funds, (personal investments, procuring bequests, endowments, grants) and gifts that advance the goals and aspirations of the foundation and by supporting the objectives of the foundation’s partners and benefactors.
The Geness Foundation prioritises projects and programmes that have a mass impact and is of immediate relevance to local communities.
