Our Leadership
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
~Nelson Mandela
Message from the CEO, Regina V. Roundtree-Wekesa
In Africa, the pressing challenges of growing income inequality, declining educational systems, unequal access to affordable healthcare, and ongoing economic distress demand more than just robust political responses. They require the collective effort of empowered communities, inclusive social frameworks, and the proactive engagement of visionary entrepreneurs committed to driving sustainable change.
At Brian Reuben Projects International (BRPI), we are dedicated to confronting these complex issues head-on through our commitment to five core pillars: Empowering Education, Inclusive Economic Growth, Reducing Inequalities, Promoting Peace and Strong Institutions, and Strategic Partnerships. These pillars guide our mission to foster leadership, enhance education, and promote entrepreneurship and democracy, all with the goal of uplifting human freedom and productivity.
In 2024, we are proud to announce the launch of The Legacy Fund—a new initiative designed to enable high-net-worth individuals and philanthropists to leave a lasting impact on their communities. The Legacy Fund offers a unique opportunity to contribute to transformative programs that align with BRPI’s core values and pillars, ensuring that your legacy continues to empower future generations. By entrusting us with the management of your contributions, you can be assured that your commitment to positive change will be handled with the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and effectiveness.
Our vision is clear—a world where empowered communities and leaders work together to achieve sustainable development, cultivating societies where freedom, education, and entrepreneurship are the cornerstones of prosperity and well-being. This is not just a vision for Africa, but a blueprint for global progress.
We invite you to join us in this transformative journey. Together, we can create a lasting legacy of positive change, ensuring a brighter, more equitable future for generations to come.
