Our Ethos

In nearly 2 decades of programmes on social development in supply chains, Emerging Leaders stands out in terms of impact but also the skills learnt really help entrepreneurs flourish.
— Louise Nicholls, Suseco (ex M&S)
 
 

What?

  • To be youth-centric in our approach; either though direct investment or by transforming the networks around them so they can become the change makers of today and tomorrow;

  • To lay the foundations for systemic change by unlocking the potential for human flourishing; without which the story stays the same;

How?

  • By creating dynamic programmes which both engage and empower people, for the nourishment of robust and sustainable livelihoods - wellbeing, and security;

  • By placing Mindset Change at the centre of our approach, creating action oriented learning experiences that are practical, applicable, and transferable;

Why?

  • Because everyone is able to lead at some level in their life. Leadership potential is within all of us and there is no fundamental change without good leadership;

  • Because we all need long term, sustainable change; in both communities and supply chains.

    We want to help facilitate this.

 

“To continue improving the human condition, our most important priority is to help create opportunities in Africa’s fastest growing countries. This means investing in young people."
