Inviting Public Sector, Corporates, and NPOs to Fund a Revolutionary Step Toward Inclusion.
Across South Africa, informal settlements and townships remain invisible to systems of service delivery, financial inclusion, and essential infrastructure. Millions of residents lack a verifiable physical address, locking them out of opportunities to access healthcare, banking, government grants, e-commerce, and emergency services. This exclusion perpetuates cycles of poverty and marginalization, leaving entire communities disconnected from the formal economy and societal progress.
The EPF (Economic Progress Foundation) and Planact partnership introduces an innovative, scalable solution: a verifiable digital addressing platform tailored for informal settlements. By assigning unique, geolocation-based digital addresses, we are bridging the gap between underserved communities and critical services.
