The Trust’s real estate assets include two houses for holiday rent in Italy, the Perivoli Lagoon House in the Walker Bay Conservancy near Stanford, Hermanus in South Africa and the African Villa at the Okonjima Conservancy in Namibia. All profits from the Lagoon House and the African Villa go to conserving local flora and fauna.
The Perivoli Schools Trust was established in 2012 with its aim being to help address the challenges faced by nursery school teachers in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In 2016 Perivoli Innovations, a Jersey based purpose trust, was settled to invest in early stage Life Science, MedTech, ClimateTech, Digital and other new technology companies in the U.K. and Africa with a positive societal impact. Its four areas of focus are climate change, health, social inclusion and productivity enhancement.
