The WildHearts Group is a pioneering social business that operates with a clear and impactful vision: to use business as a force for good. This ethos continues through to the social impact delivered through WildHearts Foundation: from funding micro-loans for poor entrepreneurs in the developing world, giving their children access to the resources they require to complete their education, creating employment opportunities for marginalised women in South Africa through to helping young people at home develop enterprise and employability skills and become responsible global citizens. We believe in the creativity and resilience of humanity. The common theme that flows through all of WildHearts’ work is empowerment of the individual. By empowering people, we help level the playing field. We aim to give a hand up, not a handout.
