Jumpstart Africa launches campaign to complete build of its crowdfunding platform
TeaBag Water Filter: Eugene Cloete and his team at Stellenbosch University in South Africa have developed an affordable water filter called a “teabag” that fits into the neck of a standard sized water bottle.
Zikrem continued: “Did you know that many of the products used on a day-to-day basis by consumers around the world were invented by Africans or their descendents – the traffic light, the elevator and the pressure cooker? Obviously, these kinds of ideas have greatly impacted people worldwide and we have noticed that Africa’s talented entrepreneurs are growing in numbers and are creating innovative solutions that will propel Africa’s future.
