Science That
Saves Lives

The numbers behind the mission — and why the world cannot afford to wait any longer for accessible vaccine innovation.

300M+
People living with chronic Hepatitis B
820K
Annual HBV deaths — 65% in Africa
2B+
People without access to adequate immunization
99%
African vaccines imported — local production near zero
The Challenge

Vaccine Accessibility Crisis

Vaccine-preventable diseases claim millions of lives annually in Africa — not because vaccines don't exist, but because systemic barriers make them impossible to access. Cold-chain failure, import dependency, and cost make effective immunization a privilege rather than a right.

🌡️
Cold Chain Failure Rate
Up to 50% of vaccines in low-income settings are destroyed by cold-chain failures
🗺️
Last-Mile Access
250 million Africans live more than 5km from the nearest health facility
💊
Price Disparity
Branded vaccines cost 10–20x more in African markets than in wealthy nations
Our Response

The GreenHelix Approach

🏘️

Rural Access Strategy

Thermostable plant-derived antigens reduce or eliminate cold-chain requirements, enabling distribution to the most remote communities via community health worker networks.

Local Manufacturing

Our platform is designed to be manufactured in African greenhouse facilities, creating local jobs, reducing import dependency, and strengthening national health security.

Environmental Sustainability

Plant-based bioprocessing generates 90% fewer carbon emissions than conventional fermentation-based manufacturing. We are building for both human and planetary health.
