    In development
    A portfolio of high-integrity impact investment vehicles for the Global South

    Sindri pursues a single question: what does it take for a community to reach the point where it no longer needs us? It is a hosted initiative inside Purpose Circle — not a separate legal entity — bringing together a portfolio of impact investment vehicles in development. All vehicles are still in development: five are in active design across two waves, with the remainder at earlier stages.
