Our Programme Partners
Jibu pairs financing with an innovative franchise model to empower entrepreneurs to provide for their communities basic needs.
Decentralised, on-site productions allows franchises to sell high volumes directly from their high visibility retail points to end-customers across Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, DRC, Zambia and Burundi.
Sanivation, based in Naivasha, Kenya, build and operate circular economy treatment plants which take in sludge from pit latrines and septic tanks.
This waste is then treated and combined with other waste products such as sawdust to produce a solid fuel, or brickette. These briquettes provide a low carbon bioenergy alternative to fossil fuel.
Mr Green Africa, an East African plastics pioneer, solves waste and exploitation issues by providing a transparent value chain, sourcing recycled plastic waste ethically whilst giving waste pickers their fair share.
Their model revolves around collecting waste from waste pickers and businesses and transporting them to their own recycling plants to produce high quality recycled plastics.
GREE Energy decarbonises food processing in emerging markets by turning factory wastewater into biogas.
Its plants in Indonesia capture methane that would otherwise pollute rivers and the atmosphere, and return energy, clean water and organic fertiliser to the producer. The model is now being extended across Asia and Africa.
Seabex helps farmers grow more with less water. Their AI platform combines satellite imagery with field data to give precise irrigation recommendations without the cost of in-field sensors, cutting water use while lifting yields.
Founded in Tunisia, Seabex now works with growers in France and is expanding across southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Pack2Zero designs and manufactures compostable packaging made from natural fibres, replacing single-use plastic before it can reach the waste stream.
Their flagship product, the E6PR biodegradable six-pack ring, is used by beverage brands across North America and internationally, and the company is scaling production to meet global demand.
Flocean puts desalination on the seabed, using natural depth pressure to produce fresh water with around half the energy of a conventional plant, a fraction of the coastal footprint, and no toxic brine discharge.
Their first commercial plant, Flocean One, was brought into operation in Norway. Because the modules sit underwater, they can be installed quickly and scaled by adding units rather than building out along the shoreline.
