Coming from a charity background, Nikki and Rob are trying to
shake up people’s pre-conceptions about charity work and counterbalance the bad 
press that Africa often receives. Drawing from their experiences across South Africa,
Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan and Egypt, they have
created ‘On the Up’ as a collection of short stories about entrepreneurial solutions
to social and environmental challenges.

‘On the Up’ was supported by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust and the Vodafone
Foundation. The book will be sold for profit but 20% of all proceeds will be donated
back to the projects profiled.
