Discover Innovation in Action: Smart Cooking Device Powered by Young Skills!

By Dr. Betty Merveil-Ceneus | President

Smart Cooking Device

The Christine Merveil Never Back Down Foundation and The AFRIMERGE LIMITED are excited to share one of the latest innovations — the Smart Cooking Device! This groundbreaking project uses recycled waste oil instead of traditional cooking gas, offering an affordable, eco-friendly solution to help transform waste into a valuable resource. The device promotes sustainable energy practices across Nigeria and other African nations, and we can't wait to showcase it at our upcoming annual exhibition!

Through our Driving Technology & Skills Development in Africa project, we are empowering young adults in Nigeria by providing them with the tools, skills, and resources they need to create real-world solutions. This Smart Cooking Device is a perfect example of how technology, when combined with the right skills, can lead to impactful and sustainable innovation.

As we continue to empower the next generation of young innovators, we are dedicated to equipping them with the opportunities they need to lead Africa’s technological revolution. The Smart Cooking Device is just one of many ways we are encouraging young Nigerians to become leaders in technology, solving challenges and driving change for their communities.

Support Our Mission: Your donation will help us continue to provide young adults in Nigeria with the skills and resources to create transformative solutions, like the Smart Cooking Device, and foster a brighter, tech-driven future for Africa.

We are pleased to announce The 2024 Pan African Science and Technology Exhibition, co-hosted by The Christine Merveil Never Back Down Foundation, Inc. and AFRIMERGE, was a resounding success. The event, held on November 9, 2024, in Abuja, Nigeria, attracted 164 in-person attendees and 25 virtual participants from across Africa and beyond.

With 21 exhibitors, the exhibition showcased groundbreaking innovations with the power to change lives—from drones for surveillance and delivery, to hearing aids for the deaf, eye glasses for the blind, security alarms, and even a stove that uses condemned oil. These projects are not just about technology; they represent hope, progress, and a brighter future for Africa.

This year’s theme, “Rethinking and Driving African Development Issues with Technology,” emphasized the urgent need to harness the power of innovation to solve Africa’s most pressing challenges. The event served as a reminder that technology is not just a tool but a key to unlocking sustainable growth and empowering communities across the continent.

As we reflect on the incredible innovations presented, we know this is only the beginning. With your continued support, we will keep pushing boundaries, equipping young minds with the resources to drive lasting change, and creating a future full of possibilities for Africa.

Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey.

Support Our Mission: Your donation will enable us to continue supporting these young innovators, providing resources, training, and the tools they need to create lasting change.

Donate today and be part of the change.

Together, we can give hope and create opportunities!
