Insight from Mr. @EricMKimani, CEO, @palmhouse_fdn & Board Chair, @EAPhilanthropy, shared at the live convening on 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 in Nairobi.

Let’s build institutions that outlive their founders, funders, and cycles.

Endowment thinking is how we break that cycle, escaping compliance and running toward continuity.

Imagine this: a community foundation using interest from its endowment to keep girls in school during a funding gap, no frantic calls, no paused programs, no donor panic, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝.

This is a systems indictment — calling out the crisis of aid, the erosion of civic imagination, and the urgent need for reparative, justice-rooted philanthropy.

At the 9th EAPN Conference

[Femme Forte Uganda @FemmeForteUg]

There’s an Elephant in the Room. Come Help Us Name It.

At the 9th @EAPhilanthropy Conference, our Chief Steward, @latagal, is co-leading a candid conversation about the future of resourcing. The recent and ongoing exits of international funders have exposed uncomfortable truths about how movements are financed across the region. We’re naming the gaps, the contradictions, and the possibilities.

It’s time to imagine a different kind of system; one rooted in self-reliance, local giving, and solidarity. Growing local money can exist alongside global resources, but only if we’re willing to face the elephant in the room.

The Kind of Civic Education that is happening on Tiktok on a daily basis is Mind-blowing to say the least......2027 is going to be interesting....

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

No teargas or bullets for paid protestors. Now you understand why the majority of Kenyans are saying #RutoMustGo.
@NPSOfficial_KE will not even bother paid demonstrators but a young GenZ with a smartphone carrying a placard will be beaten, abducted or worse shot dead.
