”By 2014 we envision having impacted 200,000 people and sold 6,000 engines all over Sen-egal, resulting in higher income and more productive lives.” - Daniel Bode, Projects Director

Problem Statement:

A large segment of the farming and fishing population in rural Af-rica doesn’t have the ability to get their products to hub markets and connect to the greater world and thus increase their income. Much of this population has ready access to rivers and lakes, but imported outboard engines are expensive, unsuitable for rugged and low-draft water conditions, and reliant on costly petroleum-based fuels.

Theory of Change:

Mission Goorgoorlu provides an af-fordable outboard engine that allows people to utilize Africas vast water-ways for transport. Our innovation empowers poor rural communities to participate in the economy, bring their sick to medical centers, use clean/sustainable energy for transportation, and connect to the outside world.

Mission Goorgoorlu - GSBI™ Class of 2010

Solution:Mission Goorgoorlu is connecting rural Africans to hub mar-kets, hospitals, and cities by using the African continent’s vast river systems and lakes. We have developed a locally-produced biofuel outboard engine that easily attaches to native vessels. Our product is affordable, making it accessible to bottom of the pyramid consumers. Also, it is engineered for rugged and shal-low water use. Further, although our engine can run on diesel, it is designed to run on locally-produced fuel derived from oil seed.

“In 2009 I took out a loan from a local bank to purchase one of MGG’s motors. Now I can get my mangoes to market at a reasonable cost and double my income of $150 to $300. Thanks to this motor all my kids go to school and have some extra money. Also my mother-in-law had appendicitis, and I saved her life by getting her to the hospital in a timely manner via the river. Thank you, MGG!” - Momar Sonko, benefi-ciary of Mission Goorgoorlu
