When Mr. Allan Gray established the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, he did so believing entrepreneurship was a catalyst for societal change.

It’s been 21 years since then, and he was right.

As part of our series, we asked our programme participants about how they plan to carry his legacy into their future endeavours.
