In sub-Saharan Africa, over 500 million people live without electricity.
For lighting, many of them use kerosene, a fossil fuel that contributes to global warming, emits toxic fumes, and can start dangerous fires.
“So we started looking for a low-cost way to provide electricity for an entire village,” says Jeff Schnurr, CEO of Jaza Energy.
The company figured out a way to meet that goal without conventional power plants and a distribution grid.
In Tanzania, Jaza Energy has built about 75 solar hubs: small buildings with solar panels on top. Two women from the community staff each hub.
