In order to ensure the widespread transformation of Africa’s waste into much needed energy, water and recovered resources, the Waste Transformers has initiated an independent Fund that enables local entrepreneurs to tackle the issues head-on. Recently, The Waste Transformers partnered with three top talents, Fabian Roobeek, Urara Kamiya and Porus Jungalwalla, MBA candidates at IESE Business School in Spain, in order to model, structure and de-risk the Fund. Their result was entered into the “Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investment Challenge”, a competition, hosted in Hong Kong, aimed at finding the best, global, impact investment solutions for 21st century challenges. The Waste Transformers Fund was selected as one of the top three, global, impact investment solutions, for 2016.
