About The Allan Gray Orbis Foundation 

It was founded by Allan Gray in 2005 out of his dream to create a sustainable contribution to the country, by helping students who are the future entrepreneurs of Southern Africa.

It invests in the education and development of individuals with entrepreneurial potential within Southern Africa. They do so because they believe that these curious, driven and responsibly minded young people are capable of significantly, positively and permanently impacting the economic lives of the communities, cities and possibly even the country they operate in.
