Diatom Impact functions as a deliberate mechanism within Platform Capital’s ecosystem — built to translate strategy into measurable outcomes across Africa’s most pressing developmental gaps.
Structured to address systemic challenges, Diatom Impact deploys research, community engagement, and institutional partnerships to deliver bold, scalable solutions that redefine what meaningful impact looks like.
Programs curated to spark digital literacy, foster entrepreneurial thinking, and empower the next generation with STEM and vocational skills that align with Africa’s evolving job market.
Initiatives shaped to strengthen access to justice, reduce gender-based violence, and train public institutions on inclusive practices — all built on data, dignity, and dialogue.
