Empowering Communities Through Sustainable Solar Solutions

In Zambia alone, the International Energy Agency estimates that 11.1 million people, or 65% of the population, lives off the electrical grid. Electricity is only available in the cities and main towns. This forces families living off-grid to spend an average of ZMW50 per month for kerosene and candles to produce dim lighting, which is not even adequate for work or study. The cost of kerosene accounts for up to 25% of a family monthly income. This money could be better used to improve household nutrition and health, pay school fees or fund new business opportunities.

Across the African continent, it is further estimated that over 600 million people do not have access to electricity. With a total population of nearly one billion, it is reported that there are likely 100 to 200 million kerosene lamps damaging the health, polluting the air, and wasting the precious money of families in rural African off-grid communities.
