Rebuilding Trust in Sustainability —
One Verified Project
at a Time
Africa Zero Waste was founded by sustainability professionals from Europe and Africa who share a single belief: real change starts with accountability.
After witnessing how countless promising projects failed due to corruption, lack of oversight, or poor data, we set out to build something different — a transparent bridge that connects credible local initiatives with trustworthy international funding.
Our Mission
To make sustainability measurable and transparent across Africa by verifying projects and connecting them with ethical investors and partners.
Our Vision
A continent where every funded initiative delivers verifiable environmental and social impact.
Our Values
Transparency • Accountability • Collaboration • Local Empowerment • Integrity
Why We’re Different
We understand the skepticism around NGOs in Africa — and we share it.
That’s why our model is based on proof, not promises:
- We conduct independent audits before funding.
- We use milestone-based financing to ensure accountability.
- We publish open reports for every verified project.
- We work directly with local experts and communities who know the realities on the ground.
Our approach brings the trust investors need — and the credibility local changemakers deserve.

Long-Term Vision
Africa Zero Waste is more than a single initiative — it’s the foundation for a transparent and collaborative model of sustainability in Africa.
Our long-term vision is to:
- Build a trusted network that connects verified environmental projects with responsible investors.
- Develop an independent audit framework that brings accountability and confidence to sustainable funding.
- Empower local experts and community leaders to manage, evaluate, and scale their own impact projects.
Step by step, we’re creating a future where every sustainable idea can grow with trust, transparency, and measurable results.
