Funds donated to the 4Walls Fund not only attract BBBEE points for qualifying ED and SED initiatives, but also receive a Section 18A income tax deduction certificate. Give a grant, sponsor equipment requirements or provide free of charge services to earn BBBEE points.
We have an innovative model to close specific points gaps and the flexibility to align with any budget. 4Walls (Energy Box) offers the opportunity to combine your BBBEE investment with other agendas and ring fence your funds for these, like ‘green’ initiatives, early childhood development, SMME development, job creation and development of woman and youth.
Solutions for large corporate spend aimed at impacting entire townships can be developed in conjunction with the corporate. Such an initiative may include the feasibility studies for rolling out multiple microfranchises in a township of their choice, sponsoring the training and mentoring portion of the microfranchises or providing a grant portion for the purchase of the microfranchises. Our solutions will be tailored to your social investment needs and a budget large or small.
Our business concept therefore increases the probability of success for the microfranchisee, whilst providing 4Walls Holdings (a for-profit organisation) with diversified income streams and therefore a robust business model.
The 4Walls (not for profit) Fund ensures our microfranchises are able to afford our offering.

Growth of the informal sector is increasingly recognised as an alternative solution to growing unemployment, especially among the youth and the poor. Our agenda is poverty alleviation at the BoP and we address many of the goals of the SA National Development Plan for 2030.
Our model will create sustainable jobs and SMME development that will permanently lift participants out of the poverty trap. We create and retain wealth in the township community. The cycle of income and expenditure is contained in the community and as such can uplift on a sustained basis.
Neither the public nor private sector, on their own, is able to provide enough jobs for an expanding labour force.
