The Truestone Impact Property Fund-Nairobi makes retail real estate investments anchored by educational charities aimed at improving the lives of women and poor families through small business creation, financial literacy programmes, and in-school teaching in Kenya.
The fund is developing two prime real estate sites owned by Kenyan charities in Nairobi. New grade A office space on the sites will provide the charities with new offices plus further office space to rent or sell, making the charities more financially self-sufficient and allowing them to expand their educational missions in the country. It is anticipated that approximately 1,000 new training roles will be funded.
Investors' capital will be split 80:20 debt to equity and will provide a targeted income of 15% per annum (pre-tax)after fund charges on the debt element during the term of the investment. The target IRR for the Fund overall is 20% (pre-tax) annualised.
The Fund is available to Professional and Sophisticated Investors and High Net Worth individuals only.

Impact thesis
The Impact will be delivered through the financing of two charities (CMS - Africa and the Kenyan Student Christian Fellowship (KSCF)). The funding they receive from the completed developments will allow the recruitment of approximately 1,000 new educational roles, working both within and outside the formal education system in Kenya.
KSCF - presently provide personal development awareness training under a MoU with the Kenyan government. They are active in roughly half the secondary schools (4,000) in the country and are targeted to expand to cover all 8,000. KSCF also provides guidance on equality, the importance of the environment, HIV/AIDS education and Christian ethics.
CMS - Africa provides financial literacy training for poor families and vulnerable women as well as business skills training for young adults and women to help build small businesses and employment in a country with 40% unemployment. It is also involved in cross cultural projects within the country. The charity is targeting to reach an extra 40,000 families with their work, over the next five years with much of the funding coming from the income from their new office space.
