Mawal was founded to bridge the gap between the world’s oldest living culture and the modern world of capital and risk management. Our mission is to empower Indigenous communities by facilitating meaningful participation and ownership in projects on their lands. We come from a deep knowledge of Indigenous values and traditions, but we also understand the complexities of the modern economic landscape. By combining this cultural understanding with sound commercial practices, we create opportunities for sustainable development and long-term wealth creation.
