The Vision of the Foundation is an economically vibrant and inclusive Africa with a Mission to achieve the Vision by investing in the human and physical capital of Africa, with a strong focus on job creation.

The key strategic pillars for the philanthropic side of the Foundation are education, health, water and agriculture. At the end of 2019, the Foundation also started its Pharo Ventures franchise to prioritize sectors where the Foundation believes a real impact can be made by establishing self- sustaining businesses, which focus on job and economic value creation. Headquartered in London, the Foundation has an operational head office in Nairobi, Kenya with country offices in Ethiopia (Addis Ababa and Assosa) and Somaliland (Hargeisa) and Rwanda (Kigali).
