Roots

Buey was born in South Sudan in a small village called Maiwut. Along with his family, Buey immigrated to the United States as a refugee at the age of 11. While attending University of Nebraska Omaha, he and his childhood friend, Co-Founder Jacob Khol, decided they wanted to help their homeland. They founded Aqua-Africa with plans to transform the way in which aid is administered to underdeveloped nations. After three years of continuous research, they decided to invest in a complete development program for South Sudan. Buey is a graduate of University of Nebraska Omaha, where he majored in Economics and Political Science.

A childhood friend of Buey, Jacob was also born South Sudan. Jacob immigrated with his older sister at the age of 12. While attending Northwestern, Jacob worked with Buey to develop a plan to provide development to South Sudan. After graduating with a degree in Psychology, Jacob devoted his time to building Aqua-Africa. Jacob trusts in the “Key 3” concept and believes it will revolutionize how development is administered.
