Francis Onyango, an alumnus of our greenlabs incubation program, argues that the problem isn't the farmer; it's the data fragmentation and outdated risk tools.
At Jacob’s Ladder Africa, we believe that empowering green, youth-led enterprises to bridge this agricultural financing gap is key to Africa's economic transformation. When we de-risk the farmer, we unlock the continent's potential for job creation and large-scale economic opportunity.

Africa’s green economy is being built right now, but most of the youth are being left out of the conversation. It’s time to change that.
Join us in Nairobi for the Inaugural GreenWorks 4 Africa Forum. We are gathering to co-design the future of green jobs, and we refuse to draw the blueprint without your reality on the table.
We don’t just want to talk; we want to see what you are doing. Your 60-second video is your direct input into the forum’s agenda. We will use these stories to challenge leaders and ensure the models we build are grounded in what is actually happening on the ground.
No fancy gear. No polished speeches. Just 60 seconds on:
1. The Problem: What are you solving?
2. The Build: What is your project? How're you solving the problem?
3. The Barrier: What is actually holding you back?
4. The Ask: What is the one thing that must change?
Don’t just watch the transformation. Lead it.

Couldn't catch him! 🔥 Congratulations to Sabastian Sawe on his fastest marathon (male) at 1:59:30. He also beats Eliud Kipchoge’s fastest marathon distance #londonmarathon@LondonMarathon
In 2025, Sabastian Sawe asked the AIU to test him as frequently as possible.
He underwent 25 tests in the build-up to the Berlin Marathon, blood and urine, around 2–3 times per week, including days where he was tested twice.
He maintained that same approach into 2026.
Now, he has broken the Marathon World Record, clocking 1:59:30 in London.
Officially the first man to go sub-2 in the marathon.
What will it take to build solutions that actually work for Africa?
