The Foundation will, therefore, target sectors that are capital intensive such as water drilling, equipment leasing, manufacturing or power generation
This is consistent with the Foundation’s stated objective of building not only human, but also physical capital.The Foundation intends to invest significantly over the next five years in a range of social enterprises
These social enterprises will actively seek clients in the private, government and NGO sectors
The Foundation’s programmatic activities (education, water services, health and agriculture) will also be clients.
