3 BACKGROUND The African and South African markets are experiencing shortages of supply of electricity, basic infrastructure and water. The sectors of the population most affected by this are the poorer sector as the costs for supply have risen dramatically due to these shortages. The need for power and clean water is a basic Humanitarian right. We have identified various projects within South Africa and Southern Africa where we can assist in developing clean power and water supply for the benefit of the poor. By funding these Humanitarian Projects we will ease the living conditions of millions of Africans, create employment and improve their over all lifestyle and life span.

4 INVESTMENT PROPOSAL  There is a current opportunity to create a private fund of USD 5 Billion to cater for humanitarian projects  The proposed fund will be established in Mauritius and will be utilised to fund Renewable Energy, Water and Infrastructure projects that can be defined/described as Humanitarian in nature.  This document sets out the structure and operation of the proposed fund  The investor will receive equity returns  This document seeks to set out the proposed fund structure for consideration and approval by both Serendipity by Design LLC and their Investor Party (“the Investor”)

5 PARTIES  The parties to the proposed fund will be as follows: NEWCO Renewable Energy, Water and Infrastructure Humanitarian Fund NEWCO Fund Manager Investor (Overseer of Fund)

6 Parties  The NEWCO shareholding for the Fund Management Company will be held 50:50 by Serendipity by Design LLC and a Mauritian Company comprising the operational management team of the Fund. (It is envisaged at this stage that both Desmond Magua and John Coetzee of Thuthuka Group will be part of the new Mauritian Company and will both operate predominantly out of Mauritius to enable the Fund to operate independently). The NEWCO Fund Manager (“NFM”) will have a 20% shareholding in the NEWCO Renewable Energy, Water and Infrastructure Humanitarian Fund (“NF”) and the remaining 80% shareholding will belong to the Investor.  The NF will in turn be the vehicle in which the funds are invested and which will hold the investments and loans to projects.
