Our Smart Agri Centre works to amplify the voices of women and girls in rural communities 📣 

We ensure that female community members are central to the decision-making process of solar energy projects so the needs of women are integrated into the design of our solar energy systems. 

Our gender-inclusive approach promotes the utility of clean energy as a means of catalysing female entrepreneurship and in turn, access to sustainable income generation ♻️ In this way, Agri Tech is used as a means of promoting gender equality and female empowerment 💪🏿

Let's talk about... #SDG7☀️ Yes, we really lo Let's talk about... #SDG7☀️

Yes, we really love solar energy, and so should you. 

Our Smart Agri Centres are powered entirely by clean solar energy, meaning that the rural communities that we work with are able to gain access to a safe, reliable and affordable source of electricity. 

Even better, this energy is then used to increase the productivity of small-holders farmers, through powering agricultural services- such as cold storage, milling and welding.
