Social Impact Project for Operations and Supply Chain Expert to Support Solar Energy in Uganda

Project Description and Impact

Many communities in the Lwengo district and beyond still lack access to electricity, and so they rely on unhealthy means of burning kerosene to provide light to their families. These families use 'tadooba," a locally made kerosene lamp and lanterns as an alternative solutions to lighting their homes. Unfortunately, these lamps and lanterns are very dangerous to their health since they lead to dangerous respiratory diseases, accidents like burning of children or the entire house, and they are costly since they require a daily expense between $0.19 - 0.27 USD per night.

With support from a past Experteer, we have established a social enterprise reaching off-grid communities with clean and sustainable solar using a Pay-as-you-go system. Over 28 families and a community school (368 people) have benefited from this project and can now get clean and brighter light from our solar products.

We are looking for an Experteer who can work with us as an operations/supply chain expert to help with improving service delivery in our current operational areas and new communities.
