About Us
Who We Are
We were founded in 2025 with a clear vision: to move capital in an entirely new way – to support systems across Africa that are just, safe, and truly resilient.
We don’t provide short term interventions. We co-create scalable, community rooted solutions for the preservation and promotion of all life, ensuring durable impact and long term success.
Our Vision
“A thriving, regenerative Africa in which communities access the necessary resources to co-build systems that safeguard dignity, justice and safety, generating shared prosperity for all life.”
Our Mission
AfriGo Capital stewards and moves catalytic capital, knowledge, experience and relationships to activate civil society and ensure resilient systems across Africa.
We partner with donors, impact partners, communities and public institutions to co-design, finance and scale integrated solutions for the preservation and promotion of all life – grounded in meticulous due diligence, transparent impact evidence and a commitment to justice.
Our Why
South Africa is rich in funding but poor in outcomes.
We face a crisis of misaligned capital,
fragmented efforts, and wasted opportunity.
The Challenge
- While roughly R180 billion is spent annually on social development, and R12.7 billion flows from corporations into Corporate Social Investment (CSI), over 50% of recipients lack the means to build financial reserves
- Only 8% of NPOs receive stable, multi-year funding and the security it provides (Trialogue, 2022)
- Donor efforts often remain siloed and disconnected from grassroots realities
The Issue
Meanwhile, basic public services have deteriorated in quality
- Over 81% of South African Grade 4 learners cannot read for meaning in any of the 11 official languages.
- The national public health doctor-to-patient ratio has dropped to 1:2,230 (4.484 doctors per 10,000 population).
- The average Energy Availability Factor for our power plants has consistently fallen, hovering well below the target of 70% and often dropping into the low 50%’s in recent years, showing a syst
- In 2014, roughly 5% of water supply systems achieved poor or bad microbiological water quality. By recent reports (2023), this figure had jumped to nearly 46%, meaning nearly half of the country's drinking water is microbiologically unsafe for consumption.
- After an initial decline post-1994, the murder rate per 100,000 population began a steady increase again around 2011.
AfriGo exists to change the following:
- Unlocking outcomes
- Building trust,
- Shifting systems from fragmentation to justice.
It’s no longer enough to just fund projects. We must urgently invest in architecting the systemic scaffolding required to deliver equity, dignity, and long-term change.”
