Philanthropy Asia Alliance’s Post

🤝 To build mutual trust and ensure the long-term success of philanthropic endeavours, it is crucial to engage local #communities, cultivate multi-sector #partnerships, and navigate family relations. Philanthropists should also invest in capacity and community building within the broader Asian philanthropic sector, to foster a robust ecosystem that can drive sustained positive change regionally.

✨ Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending an enlightening presentation on the role of philanthropy in entrepreneurship and innovation in the GCC, organized by the Pearl Initiative and the Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship (CDE) at MIT. ✨ The event brought together prominent voices from across the region, including Dina H. Sherif, Fadi Ghandour, Nader AlBastaki, Natasha Matic, Sabrin Rahman , Sonia Ben Jaafar, and Mona Ataya, for an engaging panel discussion. 🌍 Key Insights: Philanthropy plays a crucial role in building an innovation-driven ecosystem in the GCC, offering not only funding but strategic support to foster creativity and entrepreneurship. Collaboration between philanthropic entities, government, and businesses is essential to achieving long-term, sustainable growth. Education and skills development, particularly in technology, remain key areas where philanthropic investments can make a lasting impact. A huge thank you to all the panelists for their inspiring insights and to the Pearl Initiative for organizing such an important discussion. It's exciting to see how philanthropy is shaping the future of entrepreneurship in the GCC! #Entrepreneurship #Philanthropy #Innovation #GCC #SustainableGrowth #Collaboration #Education #Impact

Barriers to finance businesses for female entrepreneurs is a topic close to my heart. This is an important problem to tackle in the business community - including addressing the bias associated with female entrepreneurs.

Continuous Improvement Beyond Profit: A Proud Collaboration with Capital vzw Today, I’m excited to share my experience leading a dedicated team of consultants from TriHD Belgium on the first phase of a continuous improvement initiative with the inspiring NGO, CAPITAL vzw/asbl Through our TriFinance Belgium for Impact program, we’re committed to making a positive social impact. Our consultants contribute their time and expertise during non-billable periods to support small-scale social organizations and startups, fostering empowerment through shared knowledge and resources. This initiative aims to create sustainable partnerships with NGOs that align with our values. It's a true win-win: our consultants gain valuable experience, and clients receive our services at no cost. Working alongside Capital and its dynamic founder, Hassan Al Hilou, has profoundly influenced my approach to leadership and project management. Capital’s mission resonates deeply with me: they believe in a sustainable and inclusive society where everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic background, religion, orientation, or gender, has the opportunity to grow. I’m proud to be part of this journey and look forward to what lies ahead! Thank you Leonard De Blende, Tom Vanderstraeten, Maaike Malfliet, Jana Van de Velde, Jana Wittemans, Oumaïma E., Eva Nelissen for the great collaboration! 🌟 #ContinuousImprovement #SocialImpact #NGOs #CorporateSocialResponsibility #TriFinanceForImpact #Leadership #ProjectManagement #InclusiveSociety #SustainablePartnerships #ProfessionalDevelopment #ConsultingForGood #ImpactfulWork

We Mr Price Foundation stepped into 2025 and the final quarter of FY25 laser-focused on our current goals. But as we pause and reflect on where we’ve been and where we are, we’re also looking ahead with intention and purpose. This week, we held our FY26 Operations Planning session, expertly facilitated by Natasha Moloantoa and Lita Currie. This wasn’t just another planning meeting—it marked the beginning of a transformative journey. We’re taking our ambitious 10-year strategy and investment thesis (which we’ll share more about in due course) and translating it into actionable, operational, and tactical plans. But here’s the thing: none of this happens without the right people and partnerships (communities, employer partners, funders, corprates, donors, customers, etc.). We’re building a high-performance team and purpose-led collaborations that will drive this vision forward. At the core of everything we do is our mission to empower South Africa’s youth through skills development, #entrepreneurship, and education—because their potential is our purpose. As the saying goes, “Strategy without tactics is just a dream.” But I’d take it a step further: without the right culture, strategy remains just a thought. It’s the people, the passion, and the partnerships that breathe life into our plans and turn aspirations into impact. We are a 20-year old NGO with a PBO status, and also trusted with by large oeganisations such as Mr Price Group Anglo American The SPAR Group Ltd CHEP and many others. 🙏🏾 We'll be coming to you for fundraising and partnering to innovatively scale our high impact programmes 💪🏾. If you're a corporate that's keen to: 1️⃣ Invest/ deploy/ allocate your SED funds, let's partner! 2️⃣ Co-create new/ existing youth empowerment programmes on cost-sharing basis, let's talk! Together 🫱🏻🫲🏽, we can take bold steps to create impact that matters—one plan, one action, and one partnership at a time. 🙌🏾 Yurissa Sawers Pain Mashingaidze Duduzile Mathabela Rorisang Rathebe Karen Wells nondumiso khuzwayo Pierre Tostee Zizo Mambumba Erica Esbend Kaelin Pillay Raven Maharaj Siphelele Ngesi

Is philanthropy evolving to create greater impact through collaboration and systems thinking? We caught up with Mr. Benedict Cheong, Chief Systems Integration Officer at Temasek Trust, to explore how these principles are reshaping sustainable development. Mr. Cheong shared insights into how Asian philanthropy has shifted towards outcomes-based giving, with a focus on measurable impact. Systems thinking can be the natural next iteration. Using education as an example, he explained how systems thinking connects individual interventions – such as teacher training, curriculum development, and policy advocacy – into a cohesive strategy for long-term success. By addressing the root causes of complex issues and fostering collaboration across sectors, this approach amplifies collective impact for communities worldwide. Watch the full video below to discover why systems thinking is crucial for transforming philanthropy in Asia and driving sustainable, large-scale change. 🌏💡 The Philanthropy Asia Alliance is a Temasek Trust initiative to drive collaborative philanthropy.
