Tshikululu Client: Anglo American
Project Overview
The Anglo American Foundation (AAF) is a dedicated vehicle for Anglo American’s social investment spend and was South Africa’s top social-investment grant-maker for eight consecutive years. Following a strategic review, AAF is shifting from a passive to an engaged, strategic grant-maker, distinct and independent from the company, focusing on long-term, system-level change at the country/region level. The new strategy empowers youth to build sustainable, inclusive communities by catalysing green value chains and strengthening resilience.
Impact Summary
Youth empowered into green and resilient livelihoods. Strengthened, inclusive local economies through green value chains. System-level outcomes (policy influence, ecosystem coordination, replication). Measurable improvements in community resilience and well-being.
