Inspiration

A DERO is a Granary. DERO is a timeless symbol of foresight and abundance, its walls safeguarding precious harvests against uncertain seasons. This approach is applied in our engagements with clients for whom resilient infrastructure & meaningful partnerships are necessary ingredients for sustainable economic growth. The granary as a reminder of foresight is even more important within the context of the uncertainty that comes with climate change.
We believe that infrastructure development for industry and social well-being is the key to unlock Africa’s full potential. We bridge this gap, not just with bricks and mortar, but with partnerships built on purpose. We are the architects of sustainable infrastructure development, specializing in Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) that harmonise economic progress with environmental responsibility.
