The initiative under the ‘Jose Water for Africa Initiative’ will see the Foundation championing the cause to ensure that millions of African communities have access to clean and portable water.

In a statement in Abuja on Monday, signed by the president of Jose Foundation UK, Dr Martins Abhulimhen, and made available to journalists, it stated that Dr. Abhulimhen was chosen because of his commitment to championing social justice in Africa and through
education and philanthropy.

He has also empowered marginalised communities in Africa and bridging the gap between the rich and the poor.

Jose Foundation is collaborating with Designated Honorary Consul for Cambodia to the UK, Mr. Jas Sohl, to carry out ‘JOSE Water’ (Impact Solutions)—to deliver centralised and decentralised water technology to Nigeria and surrounding regions of Africa.

The synergy includes the provision of clean water, effluent treatment and water, and sanitation and hygiene (WASH)—municipal and industrial.

The Cambodian diplomat, according to the statement, has 25 years of experience in technology and impact investing.

“Jas is a distinguished UK-based social and holistic development entrepreneur.

“His impressive portfolio includes investments in over ten ground breaking climate technologies, earning him recognition as a Smart Tech Award-winning impact investor.

“Jas has been a pivotal force in five key initiatives within the ETV program, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to environmental and technological advancement.

“As an international business mentor for British Water, he extends his expertise across Asia and India, fostering growth and innovation in these regions.

“Now to join forces with “JOSE Water” to drive forward into the African Continent,” the organisation said.

The statement further stated that “Dr. Abhulimhen through the Jose Foundation, has combined education and philanthropy to effect change in societies across Africa through the spirit of social justice and leveraging on his rich experience in humanitarian work over the years.”

“I am happy to be chosen for this work. That is what I have been doing before I got this; I have been having events in different countries in Africa. I have done child sexual exploitation in South Africa. I have done safe of children in sports in South Africa. These are events I have been used to doing. If I am given the opportunity to do it for a platform in the African Union, I think I am going to excel in what I am doing.”

Also appointed was Prof. Tunji Asaolu, chairman, Governing Board of AU Agenda 2063 Ambassadorial Assembly, head of mission, African Union Ambassadorial Assembly Agenda 2063, to lead the AU initiative.

In a remark, Prof. Asaolu said, “What we do is promote African Union Agenda 2063, a framework for development to foster growth in Africa before 2063. That will make Africa with common choruses, including the encouragement of free movement across the continent.”

Jose Foundation was founded in Abuja, Nigeria, in 2003 by Dr. Martins Abhulimhen and guided by the principles of excellence, pioneering, and generosity true to its founder.

Jose Foundation strives to foster positive change and enable people to live a meaningful and fulfilling life in a more equitable and safer environment.

The Foundation shapes and implements a needs-based and result-oriented philanthropic strategy that aims to build the capacities and strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable groups, children and women in particular.

They support innovative, impactful, and lasting initiatives in low-income countries that promote women’s economic and social development, provide access to basic services, engage with communities to encourage the responsible management of natural resources, and deliver humanitarian assistance to children and their families when natural disasters strike.

The AU Agenda 2063 is Africa’s blueprint and master plan for transforming Africa into the global powerhouse of the future. It is the continent’s strategic framework that aims to deliver on its goal for inclusive and sustainable development and is a concrete manifestation of the pan-African drive for unity, self-determination, freedom, progress, and collective prosperity pursued under Pan-Africanism and the African Renaissance.
