We combine Solar Energy products with a Mobile payment system which allows our customer base to pay per use. The purpose of this business is to support people in poverty and to improve their living conditions. To decrease poverty we see the key in giving access to energy – here solar energy in form of private Solar Home Systems. These systems offer initially light but also the possibility to use electrical appliances to start a small business.To enable the purchase of such systems we offer micro credits which can be paid back through savings of existing energy costs like kerosene, petroleum and charcoal but also through additional income with new small businesses. The improved conditions help people to build up something on their own. A human economy can be generated without dependency on donations. Our target market is currently West Africa and we have started in Senegal.
