Podcasts

Our podcast, 'Afri-CAN' is available on Spotify, YouTube, or Apple. See our episode entitled 'The Dilemmas of a Philanthropist' below. This episode takes place in-person at Pharo Management's London Office - the emerging market hedge fund which finances Pharo Foundation. In this special episode we take a look at philanthropy from the perspective of the philanthropist - discussing how they choose their causes and how they allocate their resources. To discuss this, we have Pharo Foundation's own founder, Guillaume Fonkenell. With him we have Jonathan Bayliss, the Co-Founder of EMpower UK, a charity which supports vulnerable young people in emerging market countries.
