Blue Mangoes serves communities by creating appropriate technologies which transform waste into opportunity. Our trademark solution is a passive solar fruit dehydrator that harnesses the sun's heat and natural airflow to dry locally produced fruit excess that would otherwise go unused. We then focus on developing the dried fruits into a local and exportable commodity. By working with local partners that have established long-term presences, Blue Mangoes is able to provide these technologies and ensure their immersion into and ownership by the community. In every way, our job is to work ourselves out of the need for our job: we help to train local technicians in maintaining and replicating the initial dehydrator that we construct within the community and provide construction manuals to do so. Blue Mangoes was most recently accepted into gBETA Milwaukee, a startup accelerator run by gener8tor. We have active projects in Panama, Liberia, Haiti and Kenya. Blue Mangoes has been apart of the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps and The Commons, WI.
