Solar lamps & clean cookstoves for rural women & girls

Hello Lenders,

Everyday we are happy at Kukula Solar because lives are transformed through the distribution of solar lanterns. This is made possible because of your continued lending to my eco inclusive social venture, Kukula Solar.

Last week, Mwaba (the lady in the pics) came through to buy a solar home 60 from our office. She runs a drug store in a slum community of Chipata and wants to continue trading when the sun sets. We are happy to distribute this solar lamp to Mwaba because we know the impact will be felt in her community. Long hours of doing business means Mwaba will have increased revenue and her community will have a chance to buy medicine when the sun sets.

All thanks goes to you my lenders and i want u to know your lending has a ripple effect on people accessing our solar lamps on Rent-to-Own model!

Zikomo!
