2 Annual report 2017
Grieg Foundation was established in its present form in 2002. The foundation was then given 25% of the ownership of the Grieg Group. The foundation contributes substantial amounts to a wide range of activities. Internationally and in Norway, there is an increasing need to support children and youth. Many of the projects Grieg Foundation supports are in the intersection between youth work and culture work. Other contributions are given towards health, research and other philantropic projects mainly in Western Norway. The main focus in the Grieg Foundation’s contribution relates to:
What matters are the footprints we leave as we go along.
• Support and education of children and young people on a global basis • Musical art, other cultural activities • Medical research and health projects in general During the last years a growing number of projects relating to envi-

ronment and climate challenges have been the beneficiary of donations from the Grieg Foundation. Per Grieg Sr. (86) is the secretary of Grieg Foundation. He spent most of his professional years building Grieg Group and Star Shipping to become a leading company in Norway. Since the generation shift in 2000-2002 the four members of the next generation has continued the strong growth, diversification and strengthening of Grieg Group. Presently two of Elna and Per Sr.’s grandchildren have a leading position within the Grieg Group’s about 2,000 strong workforce. Three generations of the Grieg family is represented in the Board of the Grieg Foundation. The long time support of SOS Childrens Villages, and the life long support of the cultural life in Bergen of Per Grieg sr. has been the basis for Grieg Foundation.

Grieg Foundation shall continue to help the weakest links in trying to achieve the best possible balance of living standard and human understanding throughout the world
I have recently been thoroughly fascinated by reading the book: ÂŤSapiens: A brief history of humankindÂť. Even if it is called brief, it is a heavy book as it deals with the evolution of homo sapiens from the very beginning when it became evident that humans was becoming the winner in the race of dominance of the world. Five different humanlike species were in the final race. What made homo sapiens the winner was our ability to build on experience. We are the only living creature who can use former generations experiences to build our civilization more and more sophisticated. I have reflected on where this has brought us technology wise with the extremely fascinating and somewhat frightening perspectives, based on artificial intelligence. Are we again in the process of developing a tool that has the potential to bring about the destruction of our race? In one of his chapters, the author Yuval Harari, reflects on the ques-

tion of happiness. In this super-developed and highly praised civilization on which our lives here in Norway is built, are we more happy than the ancient nomadic people gathering wild food and vegetables and hunting in the most primitive manner? Has the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, the communication revolution made us a more happy people? And is the meaning of life to create happiness? Animals are repeating their lives cycles fairly unchanged from generation to generation over hundreds of years, whilst the difference between our lives and the lives of only three generations before us is startling. Does this make animals more happy than us? Personally, I feel that one has to add satisfaction to the word happiness, if we should arrive at some sort of meaningful goal for our lives. If our lives are not giving reasonable amount of satisfaction from what we spend our lives doing, the whole object of living can seem quite meaningless. It is perhaps this
strive for satisfaction that makes us use our unique ability and drive to bring the world forward technologically and in all other aspects based on the built up experiences and work of previous generations. In another chapter, the author reflects on war. This dreadful and meaningless struggle of powers which has been an inherent part of humankind right from its nomadic beginning. His reflections on the theme are quite optimistic. He feels that the combination of the atom bomb and the accelerating globalization of our planet leads to a situation where war finally is becoming completely meaningless. Nobody can any longer secure a constructive victory as a result of war, at least not if it leads to a major international conflict.
ness for as many people as possible. With this in mind Grieg Foundation shall continue to help the weakest links in trying to achieve the best possible balance of living standard and human understanding throughout the world. Grieg Foundation has both last year and this year been blessed with extraordinary high dividend benefits from its investments in Grieg Maturitas, and we are therefore in the position to reach out to even more people. We experience that our work is greatly appreciated and we are in turn deeply grateful to everybody within the Grieg Group who through their dedicated hard work create the basis for the dividends to Grieg Foundation.
We probably have to live with the fact that humankind is of a nature where progress in technology and all other types of human endeavors will continue. Our task will have to be to lead this progress in the pursuit of satisfaction and happi-

In 2013, Mada Woodlands built the first Grieg Foundation supported school in Malekal. The old school had 600 pupils, divided in five groups, the biggest group having 227 students. The classrooms in the old school were of the size of what you in Norway would use for 25 pupils. In Malekal ten times as many would gather to learn. To make things

Lack of insurance threaten to send people in a vulnerable position deeper into poverty
Tech gives insurance for all Only three percent of Kenyans are insured. An accident or bad luck may send the uninsured into deeper poverty. Traditional insurance is too expensive for poor people to afford. DDFinance is testing a system to rectify this. Using technology and automation, they have developed a concept called Collective-Based Insurance.
In CBI people register digitally, and enrolls in collectives with people they trust and can vouch for. Each member may thereafter buy insurance individually based on their own needs. 90% of Kenyans have a cell phone, and 68% use mobile money transfer systems. CBI builds on this, and lets the insurance customers handle the
