Our Purpose

To ignite and multiply

the potential to thrive

Our Values

Interested in the world around us, we approach each new challenge and each new opportunity with curiosity. Open-minded and creative problem solvers, we welcome the hard questions that push our thinking. We seek out the weird ideas, the outrageous ones that defy ordinary. 

Curiosity

We are servant-hearted, putting others ahead and have our finger on the pulse, humbly listening, encouraging others to speak and not imposing our views.  Empathetic and understanding, we listen with the intention to learn. And we constantly learn. We never assume we know it all.   

Listen, learn & serve

Collaboration

We believe in the individual and their vision, bringing together different thinkers and different opinions. Knowing that a multi-faceted, democratic and inclusive approach is the right one to tackling complex challenges. We share our knowledge openly and freely. In the spirit of generosity, we are always ready to reciprocate. We give to give back and lift others up. 

We are always ready to take action. And have the drive to get things done. We set uncompromising standards and hold ourselves constantly accountable. We are flexible, agile and adaptable. Practical and pragmatic, we apply common sense to all we do. We are responsive through and through. We are can-do.   

Take Action

Courageous and fearless, we never give up, no matter how hard the journey. We focus. We persevere and tread where others fear to go. We never settle and we never take no for an answer. Because we are committed to South Africa and the equality and excellence of all its people, driving the systemic change our country needs.
