People

Michel Rugema and Fred Nimubona were attending yet another funeral in the war-torn Great Lakes area of Africa. It was speech time. Everyone was used to going to funerals and the speeches had become routine. Nimubona is an entrepreneur with over 30 years experience running transport and logistics operations delivering critical cargo throughout the central African region, from South Sudan to Eastern DRC, Burundi and Rwanda. He rose to speak, but the usual words did not come.

"We have the right to live."

The normally eloquent speaker, Nimubona, then sat down. Everyone fell silent. The words hit like a bull crashing through a barn door. Everyone had been developing ways to cope with war and become accustomed to death and funerals. But no one had put it so simply.

We all have a right to live in peace. We need the freedom to develop ideas and see if these ideas can solve problems.

Michel Rugema, COO at Solar Ship had been building networks of entrepreneurs since the early 1990s to put an end to war and give people the freedom to launch ideas. This network needed technology to connect entrepreneurs with global resources. Peace + Freedom uses Solar Ship technology to provide internet, transport and energy to entrepreneurs.

Peace + Freedom has offices in Canada, the US and Africa, including South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, DRC, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya.
