My journey was sparked by Junior Achievement (JA) organization when I was a first year student at Uganda Martyrs Namugongo Secondary School, during my participation in a challenge to recycle plastic bags by making strands, to which I was first runner up!

At my A-level in Arusha Science I got so engaged in laboratory producing Biodiesel and again caught up with Junior Achievement (JA) and was awarded Best Facilitator 2022 in Lagos.

This is when my eyes started to see that being a climate entrepreneur is the way to go, so as to save the world from drowning under water, "I'm Scared".

To begin with, "A problem well known is half the solution", I enrolled for Bachelor of Applied Science in Petroleum Chemistry at the University of Dar-Es-Salaam, so as to learn and find a smooth gradual transition from Fossil Fuel.

At the same time I also embarked on a very notorious crop when it comes to Energy and Time consumption, while posing significant drudgery to women in Sub Saharan Africa

"The Beans!", the most consumed variety of pulse in Sub Saharan Africa. It's clear that it's cultivation is also contributing substantially to massive deforestation in terms of energy requirements (Firewood/Charcoal) to boil.
