Topics include:
Cross-sector partnerships for the win
How to make CSR an equal working relationship drawing on the strengths and expertise of both parties resulting in better impact and sustainable results. What are the flaws and pitfalls with the current hand-out mentality for supporting local organisations?
Why Africa Matters to You
Creating sustainable economic growth throughout sub-Saharan Africa is vital for global stability. Growing population in need of jobs and quality of life has more impact on your day-to-day life than you think!
Your Future Depends on investing in African women
When we invest in African women it increases economic growth and development. When women are empowered they become powerful catalysts for economic development. Investing in African women reduces poverty, gender inequality, and social injustice leading to better global health and social outcomes.
Why mushrooms are the answer to everything
Growing mushrooms in Tanzania has given us a pathway to reduce poverty, provide better nutrition, create jobs, equality, health, climate change, sustainability, and long-term funding of other projects. Get the details of this inspiring and groundbreaking project stemming from a humble mushroom.
