A working circular-economy hub where young Africans build the green economy by hand, turning waste into feed, sunlight into skills, and ideas into enterprises.
Every figure below is a young person equipped, a household fed, or a community reached. Every figure is drawn from our 2024 and 2025 Activities & Impact Reports.

CEID Hub's most ambitious educational initiative.
The flagship
Our grounds are a fully operational circular system: the output of every unit feeds the next. Food waste becomes protein feed, water becomes nutrients, and innovation becomes livelihoods. A working model you can walk through.
Seven interconnected projects, each a working demonstration, and each open to visitors, schools and partners.
Circular economyFood waste in, protein feed and biofertiliser out. Zero landfill, zero synthetic inputs.
Climate-smart agricultureA controlled growing environment that doubles as a hands-on classroom.
EnergyCow dung and food waste become clean cooking gas.
Social enterpriseGrow-your-own-food kits for households and schools.
InnovationDesks, power and mentors for young green founders.
Eco-tourismWalk the working loop, in person.
Trainings, demo days and open hub tours across the campus and the field. Here is what is next.
In 2024 we stepped from vision into action. In 2025 we expanded across four states, three universities and 240 households: proof that the green economy we're building is already changing lives.
CEID Hub launched GEIP with a methodology onboarding session for selected founders — a four-month programme delivered with Bridge for Billions, culminating in Local and Regional Demo Days.
