In 2013, Jason and Brenda Sommer created Develop Sustainability with one goal in mind: to provide young people with the skills and opportunities necessary for a smooth transition into adulthood. Develop Sustainability aims to empower young people by offering vocational training in areas related to sustainability. Equipped with skills, confidence, and wisdom, young people are able to define success for themselves and bring about change in their communities.

Develop Sustainability is based in Bethany Village, on the edge of Lake Victoria. The team is currently working to construct homes for single mothers, teach sustainable farming practices and develop an aquaponic system.
