- founder & director MCA Technologies, Arusha, Tanzania

I was already developing agricultural processing tools when I first connected with JSFoundation, and our partnership opened the door to new ideas and challenges. As Karen and Christophe are both being engineers themselves, we share the same curiosity for understanding how things work, experimenting and finding practical solutions. Together, we developed and adapted tools such as a solar dryer and Moringa grinder, while also exploring cold-press oil extraction and distillation. It has become a true partnership where we challenge each other, learn from each other and keep improving. Seeing our ideas put into practice while also helping MCA Technologies grow as a business makes this journey especially rewarding.

“Working with JSFoundation has challenged me to keep inventing, learning and improving, and I’m proud that what we have created together has helped both our communities and my own dream for MCA Technologies grow.”
