PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
British Columbia (BC), Canada: Currently working several First Nation communities on community economic development projects. Western Cape, South Africa: High production facility based out of the Western Cape to supply powdered food product across Africa and Canada. Working with over 40 wineries to develop export markets like Canada. Zambia: Establishing the largest Tilapia Fish farm in Southern Africa, using the highest quality fish. Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing industries in Africa, with a high demand for fish due to population growth and increasing consumer preference for healthy protein sources. Zambia imports fish to meet demand, making local production essential for food security. Strategically located with access to fresh water from the Zambezi River, only environmentally friendly and ethical fish farming practices will be used, giving us solid government support. Updates and pictures will be posted as the project progresses. Botswana: Currently partnering with Government of Botswana to build 250 low cost housing units, utilizing solar technology from Canada and locally made brick technology from Africa. Developing youth entrepreneurship using both African and Canadian technologies. We are empowering our youth! Namibia: Driving engineering projects through Namibia.
