Organization: COINS Foundation
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
About Us:
The COINS Foundation was established to co-ordinate the charitable
activities in Larry Sullivan’s companies and disburse the funds. The Coins
Foundation seeks to invigorate and inspire the Corporate Social programmes of
the construction and insurance industries and invites companies to take
advantage of its co-ordinated framework for their CSR activities and charitable
giving. COINS Foundation aims to see real and positive change in individual
lives, communities and business. Our programmes seek to use the power of
business to creatively get social trends in the right direction, and influence
people to think differently about poverty, disability and injustice. We also
look to influence others to start social enterprises and to commit equity from
the outset into foundations and charities. The projects that we support are
wide in scope, yet all share a key theme of sustainability. Whether supporting
low-income families to build decent affordable housing via microfinance
programmes in Uganda, building sustainable schools in Uganda and Zambia or
supporting young disabled people in the UK to engage creatively with the arts
and enterprise, all programmes are sustainable and encourage greater
independence, not dependency.
