Project Summary / Description:

Specializing in off grid solar systems for low income households, especially with children without power, and encouraging an income component to enable income to be earned from cottage industry or home based business. We source and employ reused recycled components where necessary to facilitate the most impecunious customers and hope to establish a revolving fund to support hire-purchase who cannot afford to pay upfront.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Most of these households have no power. The beneficiary households will have a diminishing energy overhead, and quality of life within the household will be improved. Enable distance learning in some cases (SDG4). The project will be socially uplifting, as being without power can negatively affect an individual physically, emotionally and economically. It‚ virtually impossible to live without charging devices now, and constantly asking neighbours to charge necessary devices or have fridge privileges can be a source of social chagrin. 

Facilitate income generation from home, thereby alleviating poverty. Establish a revolving fund, generating revenue from the original installations to finance additional off-grid system installations in other low income households
