About ISCM Trust
ISCM Trust is a division of the ISCM Foundation, headquartered in Belgium. As such, ISCM Trust is tasked with executing certain aspects of the Foundation’s overall mission of making charity unnecessary in Africa.
ISCM Trust is the vehicle by which funds are gathered for projects that have been identified and negotiated by the ISCM Foundation. These projects fall under initiatives, designed through the use of the Foundation’s Think Tank for complexity management and strategic planning.
Some of our Initiatives
Make your donations count
Building Schools
Delivering quality education is our primary mission. We focus on the education of entrepreneurs, but also support educational initiatives at all levels, from the early years to ongoing adult education.
Digital Services
To reach rural areas, and to scale services, they must be electronic by nature. This implies doing a much better job providing connectivity and the infrastructure to bring every African into the Internet era.
Waste To Energy
The ISCM Trust has several waste to energy initiatives, that serve both the purposes of delivering energy and reducing environmental impact. The technology is well established, and now it is our task to disseminate it through sustainable projects.
Tourism
Few industries create employment on the scale that tourism does. Combined with ecological and environmental stewardship, this is a critical industry for positive and sustainable change.
Health Services
It remains critical to driving a preventative medical approach to societal welfare. A clear need for patients to reach out to doctors and nurses with the view to keep people healthy needs implementation.
Clean Water
At a time when pollution, environmental degradation, and the climate crisis are clear imperatives, access to clean drinking water is priority number one from a public health perspective. We also believe education and societal progress cannot be achieved if the basic components of life are lacking.
Food Security
This aspect of our activities, along with clean drinking water, promotes good public health, and in turn, supports our educational mission. Ensuring people are self-sufficient, and maintain healthy diets forms part of the larger strategies to bring about positive societal change.
Ocean Cleaning
Help us clean the beaches of Africa and our My Days For Future initiative. Planet Earth and its oceans are awash with plastic debris, and if we do not all lend a hand the catastrophe will simply grow larger. We are the proud host of this initiative – please read more by clicking on the turtle.
“In the past, Africa was the birth place and cradle of mankind. As is now recognised, it will also have a major role, in the eyes of some, the major role, in its future and that of the planet. It is the mission of ISCM Foundation and ISCM Trust to be part of that and to support the people of Africa to do so. In this noble endeavour education and communication in all aspects are the key factors."
