Our story
Initially conceived as an eco-friendly way to improve commerce and logistics in developing nations after a trip to Ghana in December 2019. Given the lack of sound infrastructure, internet connectivity, and up to date commerce processes in some of these nations and regions, I figured these might be the best places to start and make a difference.
Little did I or anyone else know what was coming our way in 2020; COVID struck! The pandemic would change everything for me.
It quickly became clear that the US and other advanced economies were just as vulnerable as developing nations when stressed by a global pandemic, war in Ukraine, and climate change disasters. It became a no holds barred, free for all: every nation, company, and human being for themselves. Global supply chains broke down, hoarding spiked, price gouging became rampant, inflation went through the roof, and nothing functioned like it had previously. Finding basic everyday staples and needed products took on the feel of a lottery or became out of reach for those most in need.
And many people began to perish needlessly from a lack of basic healthcare supplies and access to life saving vaccines…like my dad.
Out of this pain and grief, the vision became clear. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, but what we choose to do with our time on this earth matters.
How was I making the world a better place? How was I fighting for those less fortunate than myself? How was I securing the future for future generations?
GyeGye is how I started to answer some of these questions. Every challenging and impossible journey begins with one step, so here we go.
Sincerely,
