Bridging Capital and Conservation Across East Africa

I identify and de-risk high-impact agroforestry, regenerative farming, and apiculture projects in East Africa through rigorous on-the-ground due diligence and investor packaging.
A trusted curator of conservation and biodiversity-led intelligence, providing vetted access and on-ground expertise to those shaping Africa's resilient future.

Who I Serve

In a world of increasing climate volatility, technical knowledge is only half the equation. I provide the curatorial intelligence and vetted access that turns strategic intention into transformative action.
