We deliver technologies through collaborations with individuals and other organizations.When possible, have our devices manufactured in the developing world. It cuts down on freight costs, and generates employment in the community. Our grinders that can be purchased in Uganda, or shipped internationally by emailing or calling us. They even get through airport security! Other tools can be built by you, with instructions from us. Visit our technologies page to learn more about our catalogue of current and emerging devices.
Our devices are sponsored by individuals, community groups, churches, other organizations, academic institutions. They are generally purchased only in conjunction with a specific project. Sometimes, the devices are given on loan and ultimately purchased by their end users—communities in poor regions of developing countries. Gifts from donors fund research and development costs associated with engineering the devices.
