Strategic Investing
The 2018 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report on Africa Development Aid reports that Africa received US$49 million in aid (in 2016). The aid was broken down into 40% Social, 20% Economic, 10% Production, 8% Multi-sector, 5% General Program Aid and 11% Humanitarian.
A key objective for the PDP Foundation is to transform the flow of funds into Africa and direct them into more economic investment-based ventures and projects so that the return on investment on these funds will reduce Africa’s dependency on aid. This will also result in establishing a sustainable ecosystem that will reverse the cycles of systemic poverty on the continent.
We have a vision of an Africa that is able to take care of its people and create an environment where every African can prosper and create generational wealth.
Apart from our main mission (PDP Biblical Instruction), our key investment themes will be in the areas of –
Every investment made will ensure that local people/communities participate in the equity model so that more Africans can obtain shareholding (ownership) in the economic assets on the continent.
HOW TO SUSTAIN THE HUMANITARIAN MODEL
PDP has two arms. The Commercial arm aims to accumulate a diverse portfolio of large commercial project investments, both government and private, that will provide long-term income streams to sustain the Humanitarian arm.
The Humanitarian arm of the Foundation always aims to consolidate charitable organisations with project solutions through a structured and focused plan, to offer impactful intervention to problems. Knowledge sharing is key.
PDP strives to see these solutions overcome deficits in communities and therefore always aims to achieve positive outcomes, with a high level of accountability.
Although the Foundation’s projects are diverse, PDP believes in supporting education on all levels and especially job creation through skills development.
EMPOWER TOMORROW: NURTURING CHILDREN, ENRICHING COMMUNITIES
Investing in the potential of our children is a gateway to transforming our collective future. The PDP Foundation is dedicated to supporting projects that revolve around schools and learners, recognizing that the impact extends far beyond individuals. Our goal is to cultivate a highly skilled future generation, easing the burden on governments and fostering prosperity throughout society.
The PDP Foundation acts as a catalyst for collaboration, bringing together local foundations, companies, and governments to create sustainable solutions in targeted areas. Through the strategic pooling of resources and expertise, we amplify our impact, paving the way for a better-skilled workforce and flourishing communities.
With crucial funding from the PDP Foundation, our partner organizations can concentrate their efforts and collaborate toward a common vision: the development of resilient, empowered communities.
“When you change the children you change the world”
“10 You shall freely and generously give to him, and your heart shall not be resentful when you give to him, because for this [generous] thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings. 11 For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in your land.’” Deuteronomy 15:10-11 AMP
