Additional Information

My idea and vision has been to elevate many out of poverty and to convert the use of fossil fuel to solar energy. I think my idea will not only change the use of fossil fuels, but improve the environment for future generations and create jobs for people, particularly youths across Africa.
The Bolt Acceleration program impacted my idea and I am thrilled to have come top of this program.

The Independent Business Development Network IBDN has expressed interest in my ideas and joining its membership will definitely boost my work and hopefully attract investors and partners.
Inquiries and donations are welcome.
