Designing a sustainable future for humans and the planet
Your support and contributions will enable us to more quickly meet our goals of helping others. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It is Global Citizen’s strategy to design infrastructure solutions for various government and public entities increasing the financial and social well-being in these environments, communities and government or public entities. This is accomplished through increasing demand for design-enabled resources that will ultimately help industries grow in capacity to become more secure and viable prompting a positive economic feedback cycle.
Global Citizen seeks to improve the average standard of living of the least advantaged of our global citizens, and to improve their integration into a sustainable global environment. The company creates jobs in its home countries by designing, producing and selling sustainable products. Qualitative measures (such as happiness) are just as important as quantitative measures (such as profit).
We expect to gain considerable marketability for our services as we provide renewable energy design to a present-day market which is becoming gradually more aware of the damage being done to [our] environments. And as the importance of energy security comes to the forefront, services like ours will become more central to the drive towards self-sufficiency and policies derived from such.
Achieved by way of
Global Citizen, Inc. specializes in developing infrastructure solutions that are novel and functional, while integrating the required architectural, engineering, construction and materials expertise to implement the design.
Additionally, Global Citizen focuses on the social and environmental aspects in the design execution to ensure community involvement such as job creation and environmental stewardship.
Global Citizen Inc.’s products are designed to work with or without old world infrastructure.
Some of the current products we have underway include (but are not limited to)
GoWatz 300 Portable Solar Power Generators – A platform product that can be developed and branded for government and public entities to empower & protect those in their charge.
Mine Dump Conversion – converting mine dumps (tailing dams) into solar power plants to produce a form of sustainable renewable energy while addressing the environmental problems they generate.
K-Light Independent Smart Pole– Solar powered smart pole for Smart City infrastructure.
SunRayL – Solar electric train system serving as a civilization backbone.
Global Sustainable Home (GSH)– self-contained residence that provides its own power, water and sanitation.
Mission and Goals
Our goal at Global Citizen, Inc. is to be a leader in designing and developing renewable energy and next generation infrastructure for world’s various government and public entities while helping [them] deal with the legacy of past and existing economic/environmental conditions.
This is done through the following principles:
Maximum Design Efficiency –
Generating solutions that minimize required capital (or other scarce resources) to implement a design simultaneously maximizing the benefits generated by the design
Design Quality and Integrity –
Through diligent engineering, the design team is required to have extensive knowledge of the project, thus ensuring sufficient measures are undertaken throughout the design processes to protect the public client trust from potentially negative or adverse conditions.
Research and Development (R & D) plays an integral role in Global Citizen Inc.’s planned success in achieving its goals on a local and global level. The Corporate Design Drivers that contribute to the focus and determination of the design solution along with its execution and implementation are informed by the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals

Research & Design Examples:
Field Research and Experiments on Solar Power Insect Collection Devices,
Grizzly Island, Suisun Marsh, CA -
This research was conducted to reduce the vector for many diseases such as Malaria by sequestering mosquitoes using devices that are not chemically based. The intent is to reduce the mosquito vector and then convert the mosquito’s bio-energy into another form, in this case fish. Research was presented at Adiascom Africa Conference at UNESCO in Paris, France 2009.
Design to Convert South African Mine Dumps into Solar Power Plants,
Soweto, South Africa –
This research addresses the wind borne and water borne pollution from derelict mining sites such as mine dumps that contribute to respiratory illness and generate Acid Mine Drainage (AMD); as well as, helping control the environmental impacts of mining. Research was presented at South African Department of Energy Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa 2016.
Sustainable Northern Cape Development Plan, Northern Cape Province, South Africa –
Created a 90-page development plan for a Sustainable Northern Cape Province that focuses on four development area; Agriculture, Mining, Renewable Energy and Tourism. The plan integrated these four sectors with the ecologically diverse Northern Cape natural environment; as well as, building an economic pathway for the indigenous people of the region such as the Khoisan and Griqua.
Legacy Project Proposal for the Sustainable Rehabilitation of the O’Kiep Copper District Namaqualand, Northern Cape Province South Africa –
The proposal was developed at the request of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) addressing job creation, environmental rehabilitation and a new economy in one of the most economically depressed areas of South Africa (~50% unemployment) that occurs in one of the most ecologically diverse areas on the planet (The Succulent Karoo).
