With our ventures, we reduce poverty by getting youth from poor households (<2$/day) into "green" jobs, mainly in Subsaharan Africa and MENA. We identify working business models (local tech, idea-based, scalable, climate and gender-proven), we overcome market failures (e.g. lack of skills, social norms), enable through financing and communicate and share results. 

Earn money cooking

Standard wood stoves destroy forests and lungs. Our gasifier from Ethiopia produces charcoal while cooking, which can be turned into bio-char fertiliser and sold. Local technology using clay and used oil cans. Mini-franchises build, sell, repair ovens and market fertiliser to soil improvement. 

Compostable pads

Many girls don't go to school during their periods; pads are expensive and clog up toilets. 
​Our compostable pads from Uganda are made from papyrus and used paper, create local jobs and empower girls to go to school.
