Moringa as a force for good

Moringa was set up in 2020 as a company seeking to make a positive impact in the world, by developing leaders to lead in such a way that they, their teams and their wider community flourish. In December 2021 we became a certified B Corp to demonstrate our commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

Each year we provide discounted training and coaching to those who work for charities in the UK, to the tune of 25-50%, depending on the size of the charity. For those we train working among disadvantaged people and communities in the global south we provide a 90% discount on our commercial rates. We also provide a portion of our time for pro-bono support to those working in the charitable sector.

We are committed to ensuring that leaders get the leadership training and support they need and do not wish available finances to be a limiting factor to doing that.

The Board of Directors has pledged to give 20% of our profits to charitable causes and in particular to help girls and women escape situations of enslavement as well as to ensure that all girls can get a proper education.

Moringa was set up by Ruth Visick-Evans, Abbe Barneby and Andy Matheson who serve as Directors of the company. We are seeking to add further board members in 2025.

"I really enjoyed taking part in the Rooted Leader course, meeting others, and sharing thought processes were really helpful. I have come away from the course with more confidence in my leadership skills and lots of information to reflect upon how I could do this better or differently. I would recommend anyone who is struggling with their confidence and needs reassurance to do this course".

Lucy Mason, CEO of Be Me Project
"Being in leadership for the last 4 years, I am still fresh and learning. The training has helped me understand my personality better and my style of leadership. Also, it is important to focus on my strengths more than my shortcomings so I can upgrade them to reach my highest potential. I liked that the group was small and I was comfortable to share my views and experience with them without feeling judged. I thoroughly enjoyed the training".

Priya Bhagat, Operations Manager at a social enterprise in Kolkata, India
"I had my pin-cushion with me to stick pins in my eyes, as I HATE this 'sort of thing' but Abbe made it very relevant and engaging, totally relatable and really interesting".

Suzi, Training and Development Officer, Learning through Landscapes
"The coaching sessions were so helpful for me both on a practical level to manage the day-to-day difficulties and to help me to figure out who I am as a leader! It helped me to take off the mask of what I thought I should be as a manger and figure out how I could be more authentic. I can see that bringing more of myself into my role may be a strength instead of a weakness".
