Our Why
We believe that sustainable development can only be achieved if business and entrepreneurship approaches engage in international development. Not in a charity approach, but one that builds economic value, provides jobs and self sustains.
Our How
We take a whole of ecosystem approach, seeking to support those already involved in development and business, create new partnerships, and where we see opportunity, jumping in.
Our Who
The Keprah team is lead by our founder, and includes various consultants, interns and partners.
