Adopting a mere box-ticking strategy where we give the legal minimum and care the very least, might benefit us when the tax-man cometh, but not if we consider the real-world change being made.

Truly identifying with the felt needs around us requires a much more immersive approach – a state where we know that our own prosperity remains holistically wrapped up in the wellbeing of others, and that caring less for our own country and its people, will eventually result in the breaking off of the very branch that we've built our corporate structures on.

Healthy corporate ecosystem

Committing to a sustainable good giving program, becoming increasingly responsible investors, and being acutely aware of the conditions in our communities, are only a few ways to start positioning our businesses in such a way that it contributes to the healthy development of our corporate ecosystem. Knowing that our country thrives when all industries work together to build and expand the triple bottom line of financial prosperity, social responsibility and environmental sustainability, is another tool that will set us, and those that depend and come after us, up for long-term success.

Nation Builder guarantees that 100% of all corporate contributions  find its way to where it generates maximum impact.

Nation Builder is an initiative by the Muthobi organisation, which assists and guides corporate catalysts to do just that. Through proven advice, meaningful connections and useful resources, leaders immediately get plugged into the Nation Builder community. Nation Builder expertly spans the bridge between corporate generosity and credible NGO projects that are actually doing the work. Years of experience enables the Nation Builder team to seamlessly navigate the slippery slope of corporate social investment, without falling into the trap of bureaucratic governance, or ending up with misappropriated, or even wasted, resources.

Fully funded by the generous work of the Mergon Foundation, Nation Builder guarantees that 100% of all corporate contributions find its way to where it generates maximum impact. Curating a roster of 15 established NGO projects, Nation Builder is unique in the way it assists and enables corporates to become involved beyond the minimum legal requirements, towards actual and sustainable growth. It was said that 'if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together'. Nation Builder represents the ‘togetherness’ of the business community, the NGO sector and ordinary people like you and me, all who desperately want to see our beautiful country and its people prosper.

Committed compassion needed

Charitable compliance is not what ultimately brings about change, committed compassion is. Join the movement towards good giving, become a responsible investor, and fully live beyond the boundaries of selfish indulgence and legalistic reciprocity. That is how you enable an economy, care for a country, and to this day remains the only effective way, to truly build a nation.
