About Us

The Imbumba Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded by innovative social entrepreneur, Mr Richard Mabaso in 2010. Imbumba is a bean seed. It symbolises eternity and the un-ending cycle of life. It represents an eternal bond.
The Foundation aims to bring about social change and economic upliftment, within rural and economically marginalised communities in Southern Africa, through investing and mentoring individuals and communities who seek to uplift and empower themselves.
Richard Mabaso intimately understands the challenges of growing up in such a rural community and overcoming many difficulties. He has had first-hand experience of how “coming together” can impact on our individual and collective futures and his work through the Imbumba Foundation is a testament to the African Proverb:
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
The overall strategic intent of the Foundation is to be on the leading edge of pioneering social innovations that help the public sector, private sector and communities work together to achieve effective and sustainable public-private-partnerships (PPP).
