“The first human dignity infrastructure for the AI age.”

Project 168 is a fully integrated, infrastructure-first community model designed to unlock economic independence and restore human dignity at scale. Anchored by renewable mini-grid energy, each site integrates carbon-conscious housing, clean water systems, regenerative agriculture, vertical farms, and food-drying and processing facilities that reduce waste and generate export revenue. Solar-powered community kitchens replace biomass cooking, while upgraded healthcare facilities operate reliably through stable power and digital systems. Electric motorbikes enable clean last-mile logistics; mobile phone masts and edge data centres provide digital connectivity and future AI capability. Skills training and enterprise incubation empower women and youth to lead local businesses across agriculture, manufacturing, and services. Circular waste systems close the economic loop. Community hot spa bathing facilities and safe, powered shower blocks improve hygiene, health, and social wellbeing. With secure land and committed local partnership, Project 168 delivers energy, housing, food, mobility, connectivity, enterprise, and wellness as one coordinated, replicable platform for measurable, self-sustaining transformation

Ethiopia will be the first place where we demonstrate a new model for community development in the age of AI and climate transition. The project will replace costly and polluting diesel power with reliable renewable energy, creating the foundation for stronger local economies. With stable power, communities can improve food production and processing, access clean water, support health and education services, and enable small businesses to grow.
