🌍 Project A136

Africa. 1 million Jobs. By 2036.

ProjectA136

On January 26th, 2026, it’s 11:18pm, from my office at Saltbox in Atlanta, Georgia, I made a decision that will define the next decade of my life.

I am dedicating the next 10 years to one mission:

Create 1,000,000 new jobs across Africa.

Not someday.
Not theoretically.
But practically, measurably, and sustainably.

Why Africa? Why Now?

By 2030, 40% of the world’s youth will be African.
By 2050, 85% of the growth in the global workforce will come from Africa.

Africa today:

• 1.56 billion people
• 65% youth
• Median age: 19
• 54 fast-growing markets
• Among the fastest GDP growth regions globally
• $1.4+ trillion retail economy
• Highest profitability margins in many sectors

The future workforce of the world is African.

The question is not if Africa will rise.

The question is:

Will we prepare our youth to lead that rise?

The Problem

Millions of talented African youth are ready to build businesses and create solutions.

But they face four major barriers:

1. Limited skills and knowledge
2. No mentors
3. No access to patient capital
4. No access to markets

Talent exists.
Opportunity does not.

The Solution — Project A136

Project A136 is an ecosystem designed to unlock African youth entrepreneurship at scale.

Our 10-Year Plan

We will:

1. Raise awareness and mobilize $50 million
2. Create/scale 10,000 youth-led businesses
3. Each business employs minimum 10 young people
4. Multiplier effect → 1,000,000+ jobs

Simple math. Massive impact.

Focus Industries

We support businesses in:

• Real Estate
• Technology
• Agribusiness
• Financial Markets
• Health & Wellness
• Entertainment
• Renewable Energy

These are the sectors shaping Africa’s next economy.

Why Me?

I am 65 years old.

I started my first business at 16.

Born in small city called Kyela, Mbeya in Tanzania without privilege, I am a first born with big responsibility. I learned early how to create opportunities where none existed.

Over five decades, I have:

• Built and been involved in multiple businesses
• Lived and worked in 22 countries in the world including 13 African countries.
• Been supported by people and mentors around the world.

Now it’s my turn to give back.

Project A136 is my life’s work.

It is not charity.

It is not aid.

It is empowerment through entrepreneurship.

Because jobs create dignity.
Dignity creates stability.
Stability creates prosperity.

And prosperity transforms nations.
