Why partner with us

At the heart of EDT is our approach to partnerships. We build deep, long-term commitments, that enable growth that extends beyond financial returns – creating meaningful, systemic change.

We actively seek to invest in the right opportunities to build a sustainable fund, large enough to make a significant positive impact on South Africa.

As a 100% Black owned and over 80% Black female owned BBBEE investor, we prioritise sustainable, long-term growth rather than short-term wins. That’s how we built our net asset value to approximately R500 million, with over 15 investments on our balance sheet, and why we’re able to invest in projects that create lasting value for South Africa’s communities.
