Global Cycle Solutions
Global Cycle Solutions is a social enterprise working to develop and disseminate affordable, quality technology for villagers around the world. Our subsidiary, GCS Tanzania Limited, is building a distribution network of local entrepreneurs who teach, introduce, and sell high-impact technologies to villagers in the most remote of places. As we work deep in the villages with a demand-driven model, we are able to better understand the needs of our customers. Where there is a need and a solution, GCS Tanzania Limited brings that product to these villagers. Where there is a need and no solution, Global Cycle Solutions as an umbrella organization develops these technologies in close collaboration with villages, universities, and like-minded partners. Some technologies in development, which are currently being re-designed for global distribution, include a bike-powered maize sheller, a bicycle phone-charger, and a drip irrigation kit.
