OUR MOTIVATION
These are our reasons for founding Matatu...
"A long-term health issue had finally caught up with me. My business affairs had been severely impacted as I spent time in acute medical wards. I was in hospital when one of my creditors rang. I explained I had just recovered from a coma.
I will never forget their next words: “So when will you make a payment?”. It was then I knew things had to change."
"Our systems are broken as they are failing to deliver the solutions we urgently need. But by empowering people and communities we can deliver real change from the grassroots upwards.
Mātātū has the unique potential to incubate and accelerate the most exiciting ideas for delivering social impact at scale."
"The world urgently needs more people who have the confidence to go out into the world solve the big problems we face as a society.
Mātātū will equip a generation of social entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills and resources to develop their game-changing ideas and deliver transformational social change around the world."
