Our Mission

Founding Story

TWB’s founder, Joseph, spent more than a dozen years managing global supply chains for products from manufacturers in Asia to the largest big box retailers and major importers, primarily in North America, Europe and Japan.  He realized that very few products (less than 20%) were actually designed for developing regions of the world, and supply chains for even that 20% primarily extended only to major urban markets leaving billions of people beyond those urban markets without access to essential products and services.

TWB initially attempted to manage upstream operations such as product development, product procurement and logistics, as well as downstream operations, such as educating and training local enterprises  and assessing the impact of local operations through a single non-profit entity.  After experimenting with this model, TWB’s founder concluded that the organization’s vision and mission could not be attained exclusively as a non-profit entity.  So, upstream operations were subsequently managed through a separate entity based in Asia while TWB focused on the essential downstream services. To date, the global organization has shipped thousands of products to tens of local companies, global NGOs and humanitarian aid organizations.

Clean Cooking – Uganda

Clean Cooking through electric cooking appliances, such as Electric Pressure Cookers and Electric Cookstoves, has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions generated by polluting fuels such as firewood and charcoal and reduce indoor air pollution, which directly impacts the health and well-being of millions of women and children.
