Re-Build Pillars
Good engineering solves problems wherever they exist.
These five pillars guide where Re-Build concentrates its product development and partnerships and represent the markets where Re-Build is building the deepest technical capability today. Most of what we build will sit within one or move across several pillars. When a challenging physical problem falls outside them and fits what Re-Build is equipped to do, the label does not stop the build.
Agriculture
01
Agriculture
Sub-Saharan Africa loses an estimated 23% of food production between harvest and retail.
Source: FAO SDG 12.3.1
That loss is a hardware opportunity: better field information, stronger handling, and storage and processing tools built for how farmers actually work.
Where We FocusCrop intelligence, sensing, storage, handling, processing and field-ready tools.

Energy
02
Energy
Nearly 600 million people across Africa still live without access to electricity.
Source: IEA
The opportunity goes beyond generating power — homes and communities need hardware that stores, distributes and puts energy to use where life and work happen.
Where We FocusDecentralised power, battery storage, lighting, charging, productive-use energy and system monitoring.

Health
03
Health
WHO Africa reported that half of Africa's population lacked access to essential medicines.
Source: WHO Africa
Access depends on more than clinical knowledge — it depends on the physical systems that get care, hygiene and essential products to people.
Where We FocusCare access, hygiene, safety, distribution and practical point-of-use systems.

Waste volumes in Sub-Saharan Africa are projected to grow by 124% by 2050.
Source: World Bank, What a Waste
That growth makes material choice and recovery an economic question, not just an environmental one — what products are made from, and what remains after their use.
Where We FocusCircular materials, waste-to-value products, repairability, resource recovery and fabrication systems.

Water
05
Water
Africa's water and sanitation needs have been estimated to require approximately $64 billion in investment every year.

The gap covers more than access — treatment, movement, storage and monitoring, and systems resilient to population growth and climate pressure.
Where We FocusWater access, treatment, storage, distribution, monitoring and climate-resilient systems.

Products under this pillar are in-progress.
These are our priorities, not our limits.
Some products sit clearly inside one pillar. Others cross several. What matters is whether the problem is real, hardware is necessary and Re-Build is the right company to take it on.
