At the 2025 Skoll World Forum, our Executive Director, Ms. Pauline Picho Keronyai, took the stage alongside other African leaders to
tackle “The Bias Barrier” plaguing global philanthropy. She chronicled our evolution from grassroots organization to respected Notfor-Profit, revealing a stark reality: despite delivering measurable impact and maintaining rigorous accountability, funding
obstacles remain entrenched.
Pauline championed a paradigm shift toward trust-based, sustained funding models that truly empower African-led organizations.
Her message resonated clearly: supporting these organizations transcends charity; it represents strategic investment in authentic,
community-driven transformation.
