Today's Quote

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope... and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Strategic Alliances and Networks for philanthropy

We desire to be a strong, visible and influential regional Association of grantmakers with established links with Governments, Private Sector and Civil society, and the East Africa Community (EAC). We shall achieve this through;

·                            Engaging in partnerships with each of the Governments in the region and the EAC for policy reforms and leveraging resources for social development

·                            Engaging in partnership with all the credible Private Sector Associations in each country and follow up on initiatives and approaches to influence Corporate Social Responsibility and private capital for social development

·                            Working in partnership with key credible Civil Society Associations and Coalitions (eg NGO, CBOs Media, private Foundations and Trust, Faith Based groups, High Network individuals to promote local giving and Resources for Social Development.

·                            Networking and developing productive collaborations with International Organizations across Governments, bilateral and multilateral institutions, and the global fraternity of grantmakers to leverage Resources for Social Development in East Africa
