There's a powerful story unfolding across the continent, driven by a spirit of giving that is uniquely African. Conversations on African Philanthropy brings you directly into dialogue with the people shaping this narrative.

This isn't just about charity; it's about systemic change and sustainable impact rooted in local contexts. The podcast is hosted by the Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment (CAPSI), which is based at Wits Business School.
