WHAT WE DO

WE PLANT SEEDS TO GROW HEALTHY WASTE SYSTEMS 

We identify and strengthen promising small and medium enterprises through tailored technical, financial, and strategic support, building a vetted pipeline of bankable, scalable solutions. By connecting these ventures with mission-aligned donors and investors, we ensure that funding strengthens waste systems, maximises resource recovery, supports dignified livelihoods, and drives long-term systemic change.
