Bringo Fresh
We leverage technology to connect farmers and retailers to reduce cost and ensure transparency and traceability.
The traditional fresh produce supply chain in Africa needs organization and transparency. Currently, it is highly fragmented, making it difficult for farmers to get fair prices. Farmers often find themselves at the mercy of middlemen who offer low farm gate prices for their produce. This not only affects their livelihoods but also discourages them from investing in their farms and improving the quality of their produce. Conversely, retailers face the challenge of high fluctuating prices for low-quality fresh produce. This not only affects their profit margins but also hampers their ability to provide customers with consistent and high-quality produce.
Bringo Fresh leverages technology to shorten the fresh produce supply chain. Our platform connects farmers and retailers, eliminating the need for multiple intermediaries. This not only reduces costs but also ensures transparency and traceability throughout the process.

Social Friday
Social Friday reinvents the end of the workweek by transforming unproductive Friday hours into a global tradition of purpose, teamwork, and impact—connecting businesses, nonprofits, and communities through hands-on engagement.
Fridays are the least productive time of the week. Work slows down, focus fades, and hours are lost. The numbers are staggering:
- Unproductive Friday hours cost the U.S. economy $1.9 trillion annually.
- 1 in 4 people worldwide feel lonely, struggling to reach their full potential.
- The U.S. Surgeon General calls loneliness an epidemic, costing employers $154 billion yearly.
- Remote and hybrid work has widened the gap, leaving employees more disconnected than ever.
- Societal tensions are rising, creating an urgent need for initiatives that bring people together.
Governments debate the four-day workweek—but what if, instead of subtracting a day from work, we added purpose to Fridays?
We face a choice: -Accept the status quo and keep losing trillions. +Or flip the script, turning Fridays into a force for good.
Social Friday isn’t just a project—it’s a movement. A global tradition in the making that transforms the least productive hours of the week into moments of connection, impact, and purpose, where doing good becomes a habit.
Beyond one-time events, Social Friday is designed to scale into a lasting global movement, embedding social impact into work culture and everyday life.
How It Works A scalable platform connects businesses, NGOs, and volunteers, transforming Fridays into a global force for change through engagement, collaboration, and gamification.
By integrating leaderboards, challenges, badges, and rewards, Social Friday keeps participation exciting and fosters a culture where social impact becomes part of the routine.
What Society Gains
- Stronger communities through meaningful connections and social cohesion.
- Better mental health as regular social engagement combats loneliness and stress.
- Economic benefits by addressing disengagement and reducing the financial impact of lost productivity.
- A culture of contribution that makes doing good an expected and enjoyable part of life.
- Encouragement of important conversations that spark awareness and long-term change.
What Nonprofits Gain
- Consistent and reliable volunteers who return regularly instead of one-time participation.
- Increased awareness and visibility as events spotlight causes and attract new supporters.
- Corporate partnerships that lead to long-term collaborations and structured support.
- A boost in fundraising efforts with more engaged donors and sponsorship opportunities.
- Social Friday has the power to become for nonprofits what Black Friday is for the retail industry, a recurring, high-impact tradition that drives engagement, resources, and long-term sustainability.
What Companies Gain
- Higher employee engagement that improves teamwork, motivation, and morale.
- Stronger workplace culture that fosters connection and shared purpose among employees.
- Improved employer branding, attracting top talent who value purpose-driven organizations.
- Enhanced Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) through a structured and scalable approach.
- Innovation and problem-solving by exposing employees to new perspectives and social challenges.
- A deeper sense of gratitude among employees. In a world focused on what’s missing, Social Friday offers a reality check that shifts perspectives. Through hands-on engagement, employees develop greater appreciation, empathy, and resilience, strengthening workplace culture.
Innovative Expansion
- Reality TV Show where college teams compete to grow Social Friday, making social engagement visible and aspirational.
- Fashion with Purpose through apparel designed to spark conversations and reinforce a culture of connection.
- Education Programs that use research-backed initiatives to enhance students' social skills and promote civic engagement.
- The Social Friday Hymn, a unifying anthem that strengthens the identity of the movement and deepens its emotional impact.
This isn’t just about reducing disengagement. It is about transforming the way society, nonprofits, and businesses connect, creating a future where social impact is a shared responsibility, embedded into everyday life. Social Friday has the power to turn the least productive time of the week into the most meaningful, a global tradition, the Olympics of Giving Back.

Jason, the person starting this charity has autism, ADHD, as well as mental health issues and physical conditions that are dibilitating and has spect 20 years in the charity retail industry and has loved his time working in them but has found it increasing more difficult to work in the environment due to, what he considers undue and unnecessary pressures that hinder rather than help the charity sector to reach its full potential and he feels that, key to changing this for the better is understanding the neurodiversity of humanity and catering for it in the workplace. This is how Living Reasons was developed as an idea and now he needs to find people to bring the idea to life.
