Meet our fellows Emmanuel, Theodora & Ernest from

Meet our fellows Emmanuel, Theodora & Ernest from Green Tech Enviro Group! 🌱💧

@greentech_envirogroup_ltd began as a research project at KNUST (Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi), focused on deploying wastewater treatment solutions using Charcops Constructed Wetlands (CCW). Today, it has grown into a social enterprise continuing the same mission, using biochar made from coconut and palm kernel shells to recycle greywater through nature-based systems.

Nine months after joining the Young Water Fellowship programme Ghana and implementing a small-scale system, Emmanuel, Theodora, and Ernest have expanded their wetland. Ten farmers are now benefiting from an optimized irrigation system! 🚜🌾

Their next goal is to scale this innovation to serve industries and more farmer cooperatives.

We’re proud of their journey and can’t wait to see what’s next. Wishing them all the best for the end of the programme and beyond! 💪🌍

Highlight from the second bootcamp of the Umthombo Programme! ✨

Three months after our first bootcamp in Cape Town, we reunited again with the 10 entrepreneurs of the cohort for an intensive week focused on business model refinement, pitching, and preparing their pilot projects.

They had the opportunity to rehearse their pitches at UCT with @wetskills before a final pitching session in front of key stakeholders from the WASH sector during a fantastic event organized with @vivaconagua

A great week with significant progress—now, onto the pilot phase! 🚀

Meet our Fellow Resty and her startup SWEDO in Uga

Meet our Fellow Resty and her startup SWEDO in Uganda! 🌍♻️

SWEDO Innovations Limited (SWEDO) is a social enterprise working with women and youth in periurban and rural areas to improve their socio-economic wellbeing through sustainable waste recycling approaches. Based in Wakiso district in Uganda, SWEDO produces waste-based briquettes, a cost-efficient and cleaner alternative to charcoal. The briquettes are made with organic and agricultural waste such as coffee husks or bagasse (sugarcane waste).

For the households, schools and restaurants who are buying those briquettes, the price is much more affordable than traditionnal charcoal, for a longer combustion.

Beyond the benefits for the users, SWEDO is also working at community level to raise awareness around the health threats posed by intensive use of charcoal for cooking. Their team trains women and youths on how to make briquettes and bio-fire combs and is currently employing 12 people.

We are proud to have had SWEDO as part of our Springboard East Africa cohort and to have hosted their booth at the Majipreneurs Summit this year!
