Thank you for inspiring us and showcasing African talent across many lands. Jibu celebrates you today.
Through local entrepreneurship, Jibu produces safe drinking water as well as supplying other essential products like LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) and fortified porridge and sells them at affordable prices in our communities.
Our goal is to launch a network of independent franchise owners who, with high visibility retail storefronts and proven business acumen, revolutionize the African landscape while paving the way for developed world resources to become more effectively deployed in emerging markets.
Happy Africa Day to the local owners driving lasting solutions, for A Better Life.
