Building an inclusive and sustainable industry.

An institution for inclusion and sustainability.

The Ponty Pridd Foundation was registered in 2025 as a dedicated vehicle for social and environmental impact in Kenya's transport and logistics industry. It coordinates, strengthens and scales interventions that open the industry to people who have historically been left out of it, and that make it more responsible towards the environment.

Its work is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) on Gender Equality. Women remain under-represented across the transport and logistics value chain, and the Foundation exists to challenge the structural and systemic barriers behind that gap. Gender equality is not only a question of representation. It drives economic empowerment, workforce diversity, productivity, innovation and sustainable industry development.

The Foundation is the institutional home of She Delivers, its women's empowerment programme. It was established by Ponty Pridd Ltd, and operates with its own mandate, focus and goals.

A transport and logistics industry where opportunity is open to all.

The Foundation exists to advance inclusive economic participation and environmental sustainability by addressing structural inequalities, unlocking opportunities for underserved groups and championing responsible industry practices.

Its overarching purpose is to help shape a more inclusive, equitable and environmentally sustainable transport and logistics industry, where opportunities for participation, growth and prosperity are accessible to all.

It is a strategic impact institution with a distinct and enduring social and environmental mandate.

Two interconnected pillars.

1. Advancing Women's Economic Empowerment and Industry Inclusion

Through She Delivers, the Foundation addresses the persistent gender gap in transport and logistics by developing a sustainable pipeline of skilled, competent and employment-ready women.

Its interventions focus on identifying and removing barriers to entry, facilitating access to relevant training and professional development, building industry-specific capabilities, and creating structured pathways into meaningful employment and career progression.

Skills development is deliberately tied to real economic opportunity. Women who complete the programme are connected to jobs across the industry through strategic partnerships with employers and a curated database of qualified, employment-ready female talent.

The Foundation aims to go beyond conventional empowerment programmes towards measurable economic outcomes: increased female workforce participation, improved employability, career advancement and greater representation of women across the value chain.

The ambition is not simply to increase the number of women entering the sector, but to help build an industry in which women can build sustainable careers, access leadership opportunities and participate meaningfully in its growth and transformation.

2. Championing Environmental Sustainability and Climate Responsibility

Transport and logistics carry a significant environmental footprint and face real climate-related challenges. The Foundation is mandated to champion environmental sustainability as an integral part of its work.

This pillar focuses on advancing environmentally responsible practices, supporting carbon-reduction and carbon-neutrality ambitions, promoting resource efficiency and encouraging the adoption of sustainable solutions across the industry.

The Foundation provides a platform for mobilising partnerships, supporting environmental initiatives and strengthening awareness and action around climate responsibility, in pursuit of a more environmentally conscious, resilient and sustainable transport and logistics industry.
