Village Solar creates jobs for rural marginalized women in off-grid, last-mile communities of Malawi through the distribution of clean energy products to low-income consumers. This means we recruit, train and offer ongoing business support to disadvantaged women, while also providing life-improving products to households in remote rural areas. In the rural areas of Malawi, a vast majority of households, schools, businesses and healthcare facilities do not have access to reliable electricity, and most operate without electricity at all. As a result, more than 17 Million people are losing their chance at a better standard of living, and are losing economic opportunities that could lift them out of poverty. Furthermore, poverty has a clear gender aspect. Compared to men, rural women face challenges in accessing decent work opportunities and struggle to translate their labor into secure and higher-paying employment.
We target underserved communities not being reached by the majority of current energy access programs. In these communities we recruit and train local women that belong to local Village Savings Associations (VSLAs) and bring them into our micro-entrepreneur distribution network. We provide them with in-demand products, primarily solar lamps and home systems, and compensate them on a commission basis. These women not only raise awareness of clean energy solutions but also serve as essential points of sale and provide post-sales support within their communities. We offer consumer financing that makes it easier for low income customers to afford our products.
WRITER
- Write compelling feature stories, explainers, and news articles related to clean energy entrepreneurship, women empowerment, and sustainable development.
- Volunteer 4-6 hours per week for 3-5 months
