CAPE TOWN - The Rothschilds have done what nobody else could, bankrolling the Suez Canal and helping establish entire countries and newly independent states. They've financed many sectors for generations; built public libraries, orphanages and hospitals, homes for the elderly, education and social housing.
Firoz Ladak est le directeur général des Fondations Edmond de Rothschild, qui ont lancé le réseau Empowering Families for Innovative Philanthropy (Erfip), avec l'ambition de mieux faire connaître les philanthropes des pays en développement. Entretien. Les philanthropes y sont jeunes. Souvent, la nouvelle génération n'attend pas de faire fortune ou d'atteindre un certain âge pour s'intéresser à ces questions.
When the Edmond de Rothschild Foundations (EDRF) started the ERFIP (EmpoweR Families for Innovative Philanthropy) initiative in 2013, the intent was to engage with families active in both business and giving from the Global South. What has emerged is a unique platform for private philanthropists from Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
