Impact Story
Agriput Enterprises is there to provide clean, affordable, sustainable, and reliable energy solutions to marginalized communities and groups. We employ a village-level, last-mile community-based agent distribution model. We have recruited 450+ agents from within target communities. Agents are trained in product knowledge, use and care; marketing and sales; and advantages of using clean energy as a substitute for fossil fuels and firewood. The knowledge the agents gain from the training cascades down to customers for the whole community's benefit. We also partner with financial institutions for customer financing.
Since 2022, we have employed 450+ agents 95% of these are women and youths. We have distributed 50,170 products, impacting 250,850 people, saving more than $1m in income for our clients.
