Revolutionising Climate Action and Social Impact
As we worked through the process of organising our efforts to deliver meaningful impact across Africa, and researched the legal and technical operational challenges associated to delivering programs, we took the decision to establish our own non profit NGO entity in UK, both as a demonstrator for the application of our technology platform, but also a fully operationally and legally independent business franchise.

Heroes Academy
Our initial efforts focused on designing the content structure and overall model, along with the supporting digital technology for the “learn to earn” KPI driven user experience.
Along the way we recruited some experienced and capable experts in the field of education, Dr Boikanyo Trust Phenyo and Dr Ikechi Agbugba, who now lead the rollout of the program.
Though the program is in its infancy, we are proud to present the Mpowa Heroes Academy and its associated digital platform “Impactivator” to the world.
The idea to establish a “heroes academy” was initially born on a trip to South Africa in 2021, during the dark days of COVID. Having encountered so many young, passionate and talented Africans, fighting to improve their communities, but held back by lack of access to the resources and training they needed to initiate viable impact projects, led us to the conclusion that the primary mission of Mpowa and our platform should be to capacity build the army of leaders who can carry the mission we have set ourselves.
All great social transformations in history were led by university age youth unwilling to accept the “Status Quo” and going out into the world with determination to change things for the better.
Disaster Relief Program
As we developed our market outreach and community growth across Africa, we encountered many situations and people dealing with crisis situations where the international community and national governments are failing to deliver meaningful support to local populations.
Given this gap in the market, we saw a unique opportunity to leverage aspects of the Mpowa platform, alongside external partners, to initiate projects to better assist these communities and bring resources directly to the most needy.
After a year of operational delays and challenges, we have now prepared to launch soon! the program with a portfolio of initial projects in Africa, tackling refugee, environmental catastrophe and other serious social issues.
Since 2023, Mpowa has been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.
