ABOUT THE AFRICAN POTENTIAL FOUNDATION
We are a collective of passionate individuals who firmly believe in the potential of Africa. We strengthen corporate engagement in IMPACT PROJECTS across Africa that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We are a disruptive funding mechanism that supports African-based researchers, innovators, scientists and implementers to solve African problems in ways that create sustainability and drive economic and social development.
This is achieved through creating collaborative networks between corporates, communities, and global subject-matter leaders to ensure that South Africa and Africa proactively engage in setting the agenda for socio-economic transformation.
Equipping corporate South Africa to actively engage in the global health and climate change agenda.

TRANSPARENCY
Our processes are transparent and governed by our Trust Deed and Memorandum of Incoporation. Any project funded through African Potential must demonstrate an equally high level of transparency. On registration through our project portal, organisations are thoroughly vetted (governance processes, financial accountability, historical performance, monitoring and evaluation processes, and evidence-based outcomes). We undertake quarterly reviews of funded projects to ensure responsible fiscal management, and match expenditure with outcomes on an annual basis.
SECURITY
Donations made through African Potential are secure. Listed projects are registered, and organisations are pre-vetted through our rigorous rating process. Each new project is managed through an independent account, ensuring effective fiscal oversight. Project Oversight Committees include the donor, who has direct line of site to their projects and how beneficiaries are benefitting
INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATES
African Potential have a global network of Affiliate Partners. These are subject-matter or technical specialists with years of experience managing projects across Africa or abroad. They provide input into our focus areas, project implementation, and impact assessments. Our reach extends from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nation AIDS (UNAIDS), to leading Universities such as Johns Hopkin, Harvard and Oxford University. Locally, we collaborate with world-class, cutting-edge research institutions including the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC), the Perinatal HIV Research Unit (PHRU), and University of Witwatersrand.
WE BELIEVE THAT HEALTH IS GREATER THAN THE HEALTH SCIENCES.
It is an intersection of Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Math (STREAM).
