The Karikari Foundation is a non-profit association set up by Philippa Karikari, a senior social care professional and the 1st princess of Miss Pride of Africa UK. As part of her life-long mission Philippa endeavours to continue a legacy campaign from 2021, the first of many initiatives to improve social care and economic prosperity amongst Africans and the diaspora.

Our starting mission is to improve the quality of life for African women and children globally

​

• When our Founder visited Ghana in 2019 as a community volunteer, underfunding in hospitals and care homes was clear, replaying the pressure of many health and social care systems worldwide. The cost and frequent need for equipment are not always met, impacting on the level of care received by service users.

​

*By 2021 we aim to increase and create a supply of much needed items to distribute in care institutions across Kumasi, Ghana*

The Legacy
Our goal is to raise funds to purchase much needed equipment and supplies for healthcare and social care professionals in Kumasi, Ghana. Our KariCare Boxes are a professionally designed package of essentials containing items that will enable hard-working employees to deliver better quality care without compromising the health of themselves, patients or service users.

Items you will be funding include; medical hand gloves, feeding bibs, personal care, sanitary and washing equipment, disposable hair covers and more.

Sheba Venture Partners is a Private Equity Firm. We invest in innovative Pan-African women-owned, immigrant-owned and youth-owned tech startups with high growth and scalability that can also find a market share in Africa, the Caribbean, South America, Canada, South Asia and parts of the Persian Gulf. We offer advisory services such as business plan development, financial mapping, multiple revenue streams, investment packet prep, branding, PR, market research, marketing strategy, online presence and more in order to prepare founders for investment up to Series A funding. We also help our founders build Software-As-A-Service products from idea to Beta with our exclusive partnership with More Media Technology.

We work with founders for up to 12-months before launching their brands. This gives us time to mentor, coach and prepare founders to manage and grow their business sustainably whilst exploring markets they may not have thought of. Founders also get featured in our startup publication, THE HUNT which gets sent out to our network when a startup is ready for funding. If you fall into our target group, have an idea and don’t know where to start, contact us and we could help you bring it to life.

Sheba is run by 3 Pan-African women who are entrepreneurs and professionals in their respective industries and our current cohort has female founders aged 10-65. We have skin in the game because we are the first to invest in every founder we work with. Our first class of 10 startups launches in January 2021. Sign up on our website to find out more information as well as when our next pitch sessions will be.

I have an overwhelming desire to motivate young people.
“Our youths are the world’s future Prime Ministers, Doctors, Nurses, Lawyers, Teachers, Scientist, Entrepreneurs and Leaders of tomorrow”

My Goal is to motivate the youth in order that they will utilise their gifts and talents, irrespective of previous experiences and/or setbacks. Too many young people’s first experience with the Law is when they are on the verge of committing crime or have already committed a crime.

‘Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again’. Nelson Mandela

My aim is to provide young people with the opportunity to spend a day in the life of a Lawyer, observing what we do. This will give them a different view of the law and the judicial system.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
