Student Testimonial
Dear Donor,
Now is the time where communities across Africa are not just catching up with traditional infrastructure but leapfrogging to the next generation. From the grid to distributed green energy, from centralized manufacturing to small scale additive and automated production, and from road networks to drone logistics.
With your support, investment in innovative, sustainable technologies that empower communities will build economic resilience and distribute growth well past the boundaries of urban centers.
This approach is not just innovative—it’s transformative. By bypassing traditional infrastructure, we can:
Expand energy access: Distributed micro-grids and renewable energy solutions provide clean, affordable power to underserved communities, unlocking economic potential and improving quality of life.
Revolutionize manufacturing: Additive manufacturing allows communities to produce critical goods locally, reducing dependence on imports and enabling rapid responses to local needs.
Empower youth and entrepreneurs: These technologies create opportunities for skill development, job creation, and small-business growth, especially in Africa’s vibrant and youthful labor force.
Below are some organizations leading the charge:
Amsha Africa
The Amsha Africa Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses on community-based partnerships in the Global South and features a variety of innovative projects centered around sustainability and local community uplift. These projects, and their success models can not only be vectors of innovation in human development, they can be a springboard to strengthening current partnerships and fostering new ones both within and between nations and diasporas.

Multinational African Institutions
ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), the African Union, and COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) due to their member state structures provide excellent lobbying platforms for economic development projects and issues and dynamic incubators for mutually beneficial projects and investments. Leveraging existing partnerships and creating lobbying pressure can help bring these proposals and structures to the forefront of African policy and innovation discussions. More information about these institutions, their platforms and their project slates can be found at https://au.int/ https://www.ecowas.int/ and https://www.comesa.int
3D Africa
