Our investment focus
Improving waste management
Waste management in Africa is under massive pressure, and presents an important opportunity for impact investors. 96% of sub-Saharan Africa’s waste is currently unrecycled, but could be harnessed to further the circular economy. Goodwell wants to uplift formalised recycling, upcycling, repurposing, and closed-loop production in a financially and environmentally sustainable way.
Developing reliable energy sources
The energy infrastructure of sub-Saharan Africa is already struggling to keep up with demand from businesses and households, and the region’s population is growing fast. To secure a better future, people need reliable access to affordable energy sources. We invest in companies creating scalable solutions, and in those leading the transition to more sustainable energy sources.
Expanding access to education
Education is vital for building an inclusive economy, but many of Africa’s public schools are short on teachers, funding and resources. To improve access to quality education, Goodwell explores tech-driven solutions suitable for poorly equipped schools with limited budgets. We also invest in ongoing teacher training, improving the continent’s overall quality of education.
Making healthcare more accessible
Expanding accessibility to quality healthcare is much needed and has massive impact potential. Africa’s private healthcare sector is increasingly stepping up to fill gaps in national healthcare systems across the continent. Goodwell is interested in companies using technological innovations to increase access to care and improve medical outcomes, all while reducing out-of-pocket costs.
