It is with immense pride and gratitude that I welcome you to this month’s edition of our newsletter. To our members and partners, your engagement and contributions to the network are invaluable, and it is through your collective energy that we drive meaningful and lasting change across the region. We are delighted to announce the publication of the 9th East Africa Philanthropy Conference Report, a rich documentation of the dialogue, insights, and shared aspirations that emerged during our recent gathering in Rwanda, Kigali. The report not only captures the bold vision that defines our work but also reflects the voices of those championing homegrown solutions for systemic transformation across the region. To our members and partners, as you explore the report, I invite you to reflect on the powerful outcomes that emerged from the conference and take a bold step into turning them into impactful actions for the sustainability of the sector. In this edition, we also celebrate exceptional impact stories from our members and partners, stories that showcase what is possible when purpose meets persistence. From community foundations scaling local resource mobilization, to youth-led initiatives breaking new ground in philanthropy, to bold community-centred programs transforming lives, we are proud of the strides our ecosystem continues to make. Each engagement and success stories are a testament to the value of shared learning, strategic collaboration, and the unique power of the region’s philanthropy to shape resilient communities. We invite you to actively engage with us on our online platforms and upcoming events. Thank you for your readership and your continued commitment to our shared vision.
