Working With Broken Systems
Building anything in Africa means dealing with systems that do not work the way they should: government bureaucracy, banking delays, infrastructure gaps, regulatory uncertainty, and institutional opacity. This program teaches the practical craft of operating inside those systems without being broken by them.

You will learn how to navigate, work around, build redundancy, and maintain your own integrity when the system around you does not. This is survival skill and strategic skill at the same time.

This program is about that endurance: the psychological, strategic, and spiritual discipline of staying when leaving would be easier, building when shortcuts are everywhere, and contributing when the system gives you no reason to.
