On the Up: Inspirational Stories of Social Entrepreneurs Transforming Africa
Howard Lake | 7 April 2013 | News
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.
