In partnership with Plan International Finland and Plan International Uganda, we are starting a new cooperation in Uganda providing our Lytefire solar concentrators and educational trainings to the SmartUp Factory program.
SmartUp Factory is driven by the idea that "since the poor and marginalized youth experience the challenges in their community and society first hand they are in a crucial position to identify those challenges and come up with innovative solutions to them."
Every month, Plain International Uganda is welcoming 20-30 new youths to the
venue and they receive full access to the mentoring, trainings and equipment. The program is currently running in six locations in Uganda.
In this project, GoSol is providing Lytefire units, hands on trainings, theoretical lessons and support with the incubation of solar bakeries.
We are excited about this partnership and the potential to empower more and more entrepreneurs with our Lytefire through education.
