 We offer low-cost geospatial services for rural Africa and flood zones — from real satellite partnerships and our own project to keep watch by local monitoring and locally made sensors that integrate reporting by the people most affected by disasters.

We work with locals. We are all volunteers and just need flight cost, room/board, and a small stipend for food.

We are not an NGO.

Sadly… outsiders interfere. Money rules. They don’t care. Big lobbyists, consultants, and big dollars — they kill the gift ideas, selling the same thing we can do… and train locals for much less. They try to corrupt leadership, squash ideas, and interfere with communications — such as in vulnerable countries that have less infrastructure. Tanzania… but it happens even in “Western” countries. The power dynamic can be quite intense! It happens more often in some regions than others.

Our point: So we keep going.

SANKOFA!THIS APPLIES TO ALL — BE YOU FROM USA, AFRICA, WHEREVER YOU WERE BORN… AND WHATEVER YOUR ANCESTRY IS! BE PROUD. BE A GOOD CITIZEN. CELEBRATE YOUR HERITAGE. BLEND THE BEST — EVEN IF YOU WERE BORN “FAR FROM THE RIVER.” WORK FOR PEACE.

Amen.
