DEEVABITS GREEN ENERGY

Deevabits Green Energy is a social enterprise company that distributes green energy technologies to the rural communities. They use an innovative approach of empowering Village Solar Entrepreneurs (VSEs) (youth and women) to establish micro-enterprises distributing solar lamps. The VSEs form a robust distribution channel of improving access to solar lamps to the remote rural areas; while the pay-as-you-go model enables the poorest households to own a solar lamp by paying for it in small installments hence removing the barrier for upfront payment. The company's mission is to improve energy access to the rural poor in Kenya by empowering women and youth with economic opportunities in the distribution of solar products. Deevabits Green Energy was founded by David Wanjau in 2016.
