Jikimu — for social entrepreneurs
Self-enquiry, consented referral, approved nomination, local introduction or learning enquiry.
Who it serves: People developing social-purpose ideas, ventures and livelihoods.
View complete Jikimu pathway →Participant Success Centre
Find the right pathway, understand every decision and move forward with dignity.
Our programmes serve different needs: Jikimu starts with a person or social venture, and Mashinani starts with a place and community priority. Neither pathway requires a payment to apply or guarantees funding, training admission or a project.
Which programme fits your next step?
Mashinani — for rural communities
Community-identified priority, local group dialogue, institution introduction or consented referral.
Who it serves: Community groups and responsible institutions bringing forward locally defined priorities.

Self-enquiry or referral
You can contact Goblis yourself, ask a recognised community/partner contact to introduce you with consent, or enquire through a local engagement activity.
Assisted and accessible entry
If a web service, reading, language, device, disability or connectivity creates a barrier, request an accessible conversation or an authorised assisted/offline process.
Minimal information first
Begin with the basic idea or community priority. Sensitive documents and identity details should only be shared through a subsequently verified, secure channel.
Clear decisions and feedback
A fit review may lead to a referral, request for details, a different pathway or a reasoned decline. Ask for clarification or reconsideration using the official contact route.

Follow-up

Follow-up windows of approximately 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months are design options; they are offered with consent according to relevance and resources, not a promise of guaranteed five-year assistance.
Your rights and how to raise concerns
Safe and fair participation
Ask about eligibility, reasonable accommodation, privacy and consent. No tertiary degree is an automatic entry requirement for Jikimu, and having received earlier lawful assistance is not by itself a disqualification.
Safeguarding commitments →Feedback, concerns or withdrawal
Use the official contact address to request a safer reporting route, dispute a process decision or withdraw from voluntary activities. Never post personal identification, medical histories or allegations in public comments.
Personal data rights →Current enrolment status
An authenticated participant application/status portal is not currently active. For an enquiry or assisted referral, begin with the official Foundation email. An introductory email is not yet a registered application, grant request or admission.
