Shipping/Transportation
Transportation Systems
1. DRY AND REEFER CONTAINERS - We ship our products in 20ft and 40ft containers. We ship dry goods and perishable goods. We ship our food items in reefer containers that have bottom-air delivery,
Perishable goods are prolonged by keeping the commodities at the optimum temperature, combined with the supply of the most effective blend of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. For items that require ultra low temperatures we use a Super Freezer/Blast Freezer Container for shipping. This form of shipping usually takes 5 to 12 weeks.
2. AIR FREIGHT - We use air cargo if needed to quick ship products for our clients. The price is substantially higher than container freight, but it can take only 3 to 6 days to get the product from our focus regions to the U.S.
Shipping Time
Times vary from next day, 2 to 3 days to 3 months depending on the size of the shipment and whether is B2B or B2C.
1. Africa to U.S.: 5 to 12 weeks
5 to 12 weeks 2. Within the States: Next day to 2 weeks.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY RESEARCH/ PRIMARY EDUCATION-ONE SCHOOL AT A TIME PROGRAM… CONSIDER:
Many children cannot afford to go or stay in primary school. Primary school enrollments
and literacy rates in Africa are among the lowest in the world. 42 million school children in sub-Saharan Africa is not enrolled in school. So this is why for the last 10 years we have used a portion of our profits to rennovate one primary school at a time in Africa and use goats as a sustainbility micro business for carvers in Indonesia.
