The Companies in the Better
Globe Group in Africa:
Better Globe Forestry Ltd. - Kenya
This forestry company is the mother company of our forest companies and is the company doing the planning, physical plantation, hiring people and having
the executive responsibility of planting the trees and seeing
to that all the studies like Environmental
Impact Assessment and Feasibility
studies are done in a proper way. Better Globe Forestry also runs a 45 acres test and training farm in Kibwesi in Kenya for trees and agriculture projects. This mother company is also implementing a quality management system for environment in accordance with the ISO 14001 standard.
The company will work close with the communities wherever
we have a tree plantation and provide people with jobs,
schools, water, a clinic and agricultural help through Microfinance,
so they can become self-sustainable.
Mukau Wood Ltd. - Kenya
This company will grow a type of mahogany tree called Mukau (Melia Volkensii) on 30.000 Ha land in Kenya. The tree is fast growing and has approx. 50 cm diameter bole already after 18-20 years. The structure of the wood is beautiful and the quality is similar to other known mahogany or teak trees. A Feasibility study has also been made for this project, which shows very positive profitability. We have for more than 3 years worked on "In Vitro" production of Mukau in a Belgian Laboratory and got the first "protocol" by the end of 2010. The industrial planting of Mukau will start in 2011.
Better Globe Forestry Ltd. - Uganda
This forestry company is incorporated in Uganda and will start the tree planting process later. The company intends to start massive tree planting on dry land in the North and East of Uganda in the years to come.
Integrity First Ltd. - Uganda
This company is publishing the Book "Put
Integrity First" with the subtitle "If
you want success in Africa", by our Chairman Rino Solberg. By getting this book to the young people in Africa they will hopefully learn and be motivated to use Integrity to become successful. We believe this will be a great help in fighting corruption in Africa, by starting with the young people and think long term. This book is given free as an e-book to all students in schools and universities in Africa.
