KICL Launching Empowerment Unit: A Business Unit for Humanitarian Development and Impact Investment


Better teach a man how to fish than give him fish; Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Kingdom Investment Corporation Limited is thrilled to announce the launch of Empowerment Unit's strategy, our new business unit dedicated to advancing humanitarian development, impact investment, and philanthropy management. Empowerment embodies our commitment to creating meaningful, sustainable change by collaborating with international organizations and leveraging innovative strategies to maximize impact.


Empowerment aims to redefine the role of businesses in humanitarian efforts. By prioritizing impact over profits, we are fostering a transformative approach to development finance and philanthropy. Empowerment focuses on driving sustainable development through investments that generate measurable social and environmental benefits. It offers tools and strategies to optimize charitable endeavors, addresses global crises with innovative solutions, and partners with entities like the United Nations to achieve shared goals.


OAG Foundation

KICL’s Empowerment strategy is executed by the OAG Foundation, enabling us to execute our mandate with precision and purpose. Utilizing a mergers and acquisitions framework with SZC Holdings Limited for impact strategy execution and the Design Venture Fund for impact investment, Empowerment establishes a robust operational framework. This approach streamlines operations and drives mission-aligned outcomes. Empowerment adopts an inclusive decentralized finance approach, evidenced by smart philanthropy, impact accountability, and sustainable development investment tools. This model is designed to decentralize traditional frameworks and rebalance global power asymmetries. OAG Foundation will support developments of ODT Programs for humanitarian development and impact generation.




Methodology

The SZC introduces a vision to Kingdom Empowerment centered on innovative tools and frameworks, including Diffusion, Ubiquity, Evidential, Alchemic, and Magnitude. These brands emphasize decentralized systems, smart philanthropy, and impact investments. A significant focus is on Inclusive Decentralized Finance (DeFi) as a method to challenge global financial inequalities and support sustainable development initiatives aimed at poverty alleviation, inequality reduction, and environmental sustainability.


The strategy includes leveraging tokenized development finance platforms to fund social and humanitarian projects, enabling investors to prioritize financial returns or social impact. Additionally, a Philanthropy DeFi Platform ensures transparency and minimizes foreign exchange risks while optimizing the distribution of humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Impact Data Tokens provide trusted tools for ESG compliance, social impact bonds, and certifications, creating a subscription-based solution that blends financial and impact goals.



Projects and Collaborations

Empowerment will spearhead groundbreaking initiatives in collaboration with international organizations and foundations. Through the UN Geospatial Network Collaboration, Empowerment will establish a crisis response database to address global emergencies effectively. Partnering with various foundations will amplify the reach and effectiveness of humanitarian programs. Additionally, Empowerment will join forces with international peace and security institutions, including the United Nations, through the World Peace Forum to foster regional peace and stability (related post).

Empowerment represents KICL’s unwavering dedication to reshaping the future of humanitarian and impact-focused initiatives. Together, with collaborators and partners, we are building a more equitable and sustainable world.
