Hydro-fi Gambia Initiative

If Hydro-fi Gambia is selected to win the Elevate Prize, Our non-profit organization would go ahead and divert the funds to The Gambia to implement our solar bottle project and Turbulent turbine project venture in the rural communities of The Gambia. We have been using our own personal credit to finance our projects while still going to the University of South Florida College in pursuit of our undergraduate degrees. Winning this prize would truly be a salvation for the Hydro-fi Gambia good human project cause.

The Hydro-fi Gambia cause started in my college off-campus dorm. I can remember the date September 7th, 2019. I asked my mother how come Gambia is still struggling with having a stable source of light ever since I was a kid? she then said I don't know my son how about you change that. Thus started the HGI initiative. The initiative started out as an idea than a petition on www.change.org with currently 301 online signatures. HGI is now officially a non-profit organzation registered in The Gambia and we are working on steps on becoming registered in the US with the potential funds from this application during the summer of 2021. Our main vision being to accelerate the hydro-solar transition towards a cleaner zero-emission society through practical innovations i.e, Solar bottles and Turbulent Turbines machines.

The Gambia is the smallest country on the African continent and it is roughly the size of the country of Jamaica. The country has been suffering from a rampant unstable electrical grid for the past 20 years due to a young rapidly growing population that has outstripped the main electrical supplier Nuwec. The Hydro-fi Gambia mission is to support the aligning electrical problem by offering a practical alternative solution to the population that can't afford the expensive hydrocarbon energy. Current electricity access is at 69% for urban areas and 16% for rural areas. The potential improvement for the rural sector of the Gambia is immense and there's a lot of opportunities to improve the lives of the Gambian people.

The Hydro-fi Gambia approach is nothing that the Gambia has experienced before. There are currently no non-profit organizations looking to change the lives of the rural Gambians in the short span of time of 3 years like the Hydro-fi Gambia Initiative. We are already in partnership with Liter of Light a UN recognize company and most of the HGI crew is still in the latter years of finishing off their undergraduate degrees.  I would not say Hydro-fi Gambia is disruptive but we are however the few competitors looking to bring change in the smiling coast of Africa.

Join us on our Good Human project and together we can contribute towards bringing gradual change in The Gambia.

The potential positive impacts.

1.To bring electricity and clean water to the Gambia.

2.To support the energy infrastructure and economy of the Gambia.

3.Directly reduce the back-way crisis to continental Europe in which 1.7 million Africans have attempted crossing the Mediterranean sea & which 13,000 have died between 2014 & 2020. (With over 8,500 being young Gambian youths since 2017.)

4.Reduce the basic education (K-12) dropout rate.

5.Improve youth empowerment.

6.Reverse the African-Arab migration to Europe.
