    In Africa today, over 700 million people – 70% of the population – don’t have access to electricity, putting modern-day essentials like adequate lighting and phone charging out of reach and resulting in deeply damaging impacts to the health, education, and development of affected communities.Pawame’s solution is a pay-as-you-go home solar system that – for less than the amount that families currently spend on dirty/unsafe traditional forms of energy – enables customers to (a) immediately benefit from clean and affordable electricity, while (b) building a credit history that can unlock access to other life-changing products and services, like scholarship loans and microinsurance.
