Moringa oil with BlueGoldWorks? There are nine different Moringa tree species in Southern Africa, north-eastern Africa, Madagascar and India. However, the only endemic Southern African Moringa species is the Moringa ovalifolia. This tree naturally grows in Namibia. It extends from the escarpment mountains northwest of Keetmanshoop to the Kaokoveld in the north. Even as far as in southern Angola. It often grows alongside the Baobab tree, and its habitat consists mainly of the desert or arid savannah vegetation. These trees can grow up to 7m tall, with soft whitish bark, oval leaves and long triangular seed pods. Here at The Growcery Camp, we have been able to cultivate this specific species of Moringa from seed. The seeds of our Moringa Trees are the Moringa waterhole at Halali in Etosha National Park, Namibia.
Blue Gold Works Inc. (BGW) is a for profit company that harvests and sells products derived from the Moringa tree, grown sustainably by African farmers. BGW sells organic oil and honey to premium skin care brands and also produces water filters from the waste stream of the oil production. The water filters are sold to local female “waterpreneurs” in Africa who deliver drinking water-as-a-service in their communities. Our Management Team consists of professionals drawn from a variety of industries. Our Advisors add scientific and financial expertise and our Partners are field practitioners.

When I became a mother, I had an epiphany. Now and forever, I am linked in a chain of humanity responsible for creating a safer, healthier planet for the next generation. That is our legacy. Where, I asked myself, should I focus my efforts for the greatest impact? The provision of clean, safe, drinking water is today’s most complicated, most intractable global problem. Two billion people on our planet don’t have ready access to safe drinking water. In the developing world, sixty percent of deaths of children under the age of five are from waterborne illnesses. Girls endanger themselves walking hours every day fetching water, giving up their chance for education and diminishing their future earning power. Billions of dollars in International Aid has utterly failed to sustainably build and maintain water treatment plants or dig wells. Nations are already in conflict over diminishing water supplies. Poor health, little education, grinding poverty, strife. The cycle repeats.

So while monocultural crops and processed foods have lead first world countries down the path of sickness, moringa and its 18 antioxidants and full range of essential amino acids have restored the health of a wide array of people. The leaves are rich in Vitamin A, B, and C, minerals, and protein. You can eat them dried, fresh, or cooked. The leaves have similar quantities of vitamin C as oranges and more potassium than bananas. The seeds are usually roasted, fermented, cooked, or ground into flour. They are rich in proteins, lipids, and fiber. Moringa seeds have twice the amount of vitamin A as carrots, and the calcium amount is nine times that of milk. Even the flowers are rich in minerals and vitamins. Read even more information at https://www.bluegoldworks.com/.
