In this episode, we speak with Jackie Lebo from Content House. Content House is a creative collective that makes art, films, music and builds impact campaigns around them to respond to some of the most urgent issues facing us today.

They work in cultural heritage preservation, climate justice, social cohesion, sustainable livelihoods and narrative change. They believe in creating work that stands on its own, but can also serve as a powerful agent for change in our communities and beyond.

Content House empowers a new generation of artists and filmmakers from indigenous and traditional communities and enable them to showcase their work on national and global platforms.

In this episode, Jackie talks about the power of storytelling. She explains how Content House works with local artists and communities to bring stories to life and how content can drive real impact: from narrative change to social and environmental awareness.

Since launch, Content House has built a strong portfolio of documentaries, creative projects, and impact campaigns. Currently, the organization has 6 employees and a community of 40+ artists and collaborators, and operates in Kenya.

In this episode, we speak with Elmar from Africa Collect Textiles. An organization dedicated to turning textile waste into opportunity while creating social and environmental impact.

Africa Collect Textiles’ story started with a simple but powerful idea: what if discarded textiles could become a resource instead of waste? By collecting, sorting, and transforming used clothing and footwear, they give materials a second life — while creating jobs and reducing environmental impact.

Since launch, Africa Collect Textiles has built impressive impact: collecting over 299,083 kg of textiles, saving 1,824,409 kg of CO₂, and conserving 5.98 billion liters of water. At the same time, the organization has created 200+ jobs, contributing to fair and meaningful employment.

Currently, the organization has 21 employees and supports around 300 people indirectly through its ecosystem. Their mission is to build strong collection and recycling systems, raise awareness, and drive local innovation — while pushing for greater responsibility in the fashion industry.

In this episode, we explore how they work across the full value chain — from collection and hand-sorting to redistribution, upcycling, and circular product design — and how they engage communities, partners, and local craftsmanship to turn textile waste into real value on the ground.

Today I speak with Denis Karema, the founder of SokoFresh: a Kenyan agritech company providing solar-powered cold storage and logistics services for smallholder farmers.

What makes this story personal is where it starts. Denis’ grandma was a farmer. He saw firsthand how hard people worked on the land, yet how little progress was made over time. Later, through his work across accelerators and innovation programs, he began to understand that the problem wasn’t just farming itself, but everything that happens after harvest.

Despite millions invested in training of farmers, up to half of the produce was still being lost. That realisation - that the system, not the effort, was broken - is what ultimately led him to build Sokofresh.

In 2019, Denis founded SokoFresh as a venture of Dutch venture building studio Enviu.

Since launch, SokoFresh has built a network of cold storage hubs that help farmers reduce waste and improve income.
