Ploumen visits Virtual Grid in Rwanda

While we still have a few weeks of nice weather ahead of us, a camping trip should definitely be on your agenda. It’s the perfect moment to step away from daily routines, get some fresh air, and recharge in nature. Studies show that spending time outdoors improves both your mental and physical state, reduces stress, boosts your mood, and well, simply perks you up!

After a short introduction to the Virtual Grid concept by Raouf Saidi, Managing Director of WakaWaka Rwanda, the Minister spoke to both a recent client of WakaWaka—who explained how the device will benefit both her and her children—and a local WakaWaka dealer.

WakaWaka’s prepaid solar power service launched in Rwanda just two weeks ago. The prepaid WakaWaka works through weekly payments, much like a prepaid mobile phone. This means low upfront costs and easy access to solar power. The results: children can study at night, no fumes from candles and no kerosine burns and the opportunity to earn money by charging phones.
