Karsten Wulf at SKIN GOURMET
We are very pleased about the recent article on our work published by Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG. Our sincere thanks go to Wilfried Hinrichs for the nuanced reporting and for giving us the opportunity to present our approach to a broader audience.
The article explains why we have consciously chosen a different path in development cooperation:
We primarily invest the donations we raise in African companies—rather than exclusively in traditional aid projects.
Why Entrepreneurship?
We are convinced that local entrepreneurs play a central role in sustainable development. They take responsibility, understand local challenges, and operate in markets where problems are clearly visible. This is precisely where entrepreneurial solutions come into play—often more effectively and sustainably than time-limited projects.
Our approach follows a clear logic:
Companies develop solutions that are economically viable while simultaneously creating social value.
Jobs
Jobs a the Key
Above all, companies create one thing: jobs.
And if there is one resource that Africa’s young and rapidly growing population urgently needs, it is fair, stable jobs with long-term prospects.
Jobs mean income, self-determination, and long-term stability—for individuals as well as for entire regions.
Insights into Our Investments
Those who would like to learn more about what this approach looks like in practice will find exciting insights in the article into our current investments and into how we deploy capital in a targeted way to enable entrepreneurial solutions with measurable impact.
We thank NOZ for their interest in our work and welcome any discussion that opens up new perspectives on impact-driven investing.
