About this project

In Africa, about 600 million people (60% of the population) have no access to electricity. They use inefficient and costly fuel-based lighting sources such as kerosene lamps, which greatly curtail their socio-economic activities once darkness sets in.The programme, managed by Mobisol, delivers a clean, affordable alternative to fossil fuels for low-income households living without access to reliable energy thereby helping the development of sustainable markets for affordable, modern off-grid lighting solutions for low-income households and small enterprises.Mobsiol, the project developer combines solar energy with innovative mobile technology and microfinance to provide high-tech solar home systems to developing countries in Africa with initial implementation in Tanzania. Mobisol has further identified Rwanda, Ghana, and Kenya as other potential target areas for programme activities.
