PFS is buoyed by the support of not only its corporate partners, but also with the backing of generous individual and organizational donors. We were pleased to join one such partner - the Argidius Foundation - on a visit to our client Pristine Foods, producers of extended shelf-life egg products in Uganda. Argidius has supported PFS' work in Uganda and Kenya, and this visit was an opportunity to showcase how their sponsorship has empowered PFS to support high potential companies that produce nutritious food to nourish communities.   

 

 

 

 

Argidius Foundation aims to tackle poverty through enterprise development in Africa and South America. Their goal is to help entrepreneurs to build profitable businesses and contribute to the sustainable development of their communities. PFS entered a three-year partnership with the Foundation in 2020, with the aim of supporting 150 high potential clients in Africa to increase their growth and resilience and to empower them to overcome ecosystem challenges while protecting and improving their bottom-line. We are grateful to the Foundation for their support and the many learnings gained through our partnership with them.
