Our regional sourcing projects in Africa aim to
create jobs, strengthen the agricultural sector
and improve the lives of rural households. In total,
they provide market access to more than 140,000
farmer households.
Since 2009, we have invested €5.2 million in cash
and €14.1 million in equipment and people through
our PPP projects in Burundi, DRC, Ethiopia, Ivory
Coast, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and South
Africa. This excludes additional third party funding
leveraged by our contributions.
The HEINEKEN Africa Foundation
Many communities in the Sub-Saharan African
countries where we operate lack access to basic
healthcare and clean water.
The HEINEKEN Africa Foundation supports projects
that improve the health of people who need it most.
Since it was established in 2007, the Foundation has
committed €10.7 million to 119 projects, of which
39 projects were still running in 2019.
It approved seven new projects involving a
total investment of almost €720,000 in 2019.
They include the renovation of mother and child
health departments at health centres in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia and Lubumbashi, DRC, and equipment for
a neonatal intensive care unit in Benin City, Nigeria.
Three more projects will bring drinking water to
communities in Burundi and Sierra Leone.
Over the years, the Foundation has developed
strong expertise in Mother Child Healthcare and
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). These areas
are crucial for the earliest years of life and are highly
interdependent; small improvements can have a big
impact on communities, now and in the future.

communities, see our website and case studies

Improving maternity provision in Rwanda
Kacyiru hospital provides maternal health
services to a large part of the population of Kigali.
Accommodating some 700 deliveries a month,
including 200 caesareans, the hospital was operating at
full capacity. The HEINEKEN Africa Foundation funded
two new operating theatres. As well as enabling more
caesareans to be performed, a new neonatal ward
means new-borns no longer need to be transferred long
distances to other hospitals.
