A day in the life:

✅Not managing from a distance.
✅Staying close to the work.
✅Listening & building trust.

That’s trust-based philanthropy in practice.

Reimagine the program officer role & you change how philanthropy works.

We trust local leaders and invest in local visionaries.

Why? Because what lasts is built from within. And this July, we gather to carry the next beat forward. #Segal2026: July 21–24. Nairobi. ✨

Every great gathering has its storytellers.

This year, we’re thrilled to welcome our very own John Rexford Nzira (@jrnzira) and Sylvia Ilahuka as emcees.

The next beat is here. July 21-24, 2026.

When we talk about violence against children (VAC), we must look beyond isolated incidents to the everyday environments that shape children’s safety and wellbeing.

Did you know that mosquitoes need only a small amount of standing water to breed? Many people think mosquitoes breed only in swamps or large bodies of water.
Buckets, discarded tires, blocked drains, animal troughs, and even small puddles can produce hundreds of mosquitoes.

Men's Mental Health Matters. It's okay not to be okay. Talk about it, ask for help, set boundaries, and remember you are not alone.

Let's break the silence and encourage more men to prioritize their mental wellbeing.

Every movement begins with a first beat.

Twenty years ago, ours started with trust. 💚

Twenty years later, that pulse is still carrying us.

And now, the next beat begins. 🥁

Every movement has a first beat. 🥁

20 years ago, Barry Segal made an early bet on African leaders, long before locally led change became a global conversation. That first beat has since grown into a pulse. 💚

This July, Nairobi gathers for the next beat.

Poverty isn’t just about income. It shows up in access, confidence, and the ability to choose. 💭
