ABOUT US
Introducing the Kisima African Giving Platform
We are a platform to promote good giving stories from across Africa. We seek to demonstrate that Africans in their collective always give towards the public good. We also mobilise resources that can be deployed to any cause as we have always done.
STORIES
The first is the repository of good and positive stories of giving, solidarity, sharing, caring, helping, resilience and reciprocity. These are stories of every day experiences with kindness, compassion and humility. These are stories of hope. These are stories of charity and transformation. These are stories of social justice.
THE FUND
The second component is the Fund. This is a campaign to raise funds and resources towards continental causes. The causes will be rotated over time but givers will be given options to choose from.
OUR IMPACT
The third component is a repository of impact made. There is need to record and document success stories of giving as well as demonstrate the value of philanthropy in Africa. This component of the Initiative showcases the role played by philanthropic institutions, individuals, private sector companies and civil society as a whole.
