For each project a partnership is created between the HEINEKEN Africa Foundation, the local HEINEKEN brewery and a local or international NGO. The Foundation provides funding and administrative assistance. The local brewery supports through means of manpower, expertise and monitoring. The NGO is responsible for the implementation and continuation of the project.

How to apply

Project proposals can only be submitted by the local HEINEKEN operating companies in close collaboration with a (N)GO. By making use of HEINEKEN’s local infrastructure and network we believe that we can make a bigger impact.
