Jobomax Homes designs, builds and sells high quality, affordable housing in West Africa. We market homes to members of the West African diaspora, private sector professionals, employee cooperatives and others in West Africa. Jobomax Homes offers buyers three key benefits they are unable to access elsewhere: security of their investment, quality construction, and access to finance. We have sold over 100 homes in Guinea since launch, expanded to Sierra Leone in 2021, and Ghana in 2022. Jobomax Homes plans to expand across West Africa in 2023 and beyond to help alleviate the regional housing shortage of approximately three million units.

Power Up Gambia's mission is to provide reliable electricity and water to healthcare facilities in The Gambia, West Africa through solar energy. Imagine a hospital without electricity, nurses having to tend to patients, deliver babies and set IV lines by candlelight. No refrigeration for blood banks. Emergency surgeries would be impossible. Children in respiratory distress would have no supplemental oxygen from oxygen concentrators. Drugs and vaccines dependent on refrigeration would be ruined. But solar power can change this. Power Up Gambia, with its mission to provide reliable, responsible electricity and water to health facilities in western Gambia serves to both increase access to health care for poor people and to reduce the toll of "modernization" on our planet. This work succeeds in uniting the two great struggles of our time: the struggle for social justice and that for ecological justice.
