Microsolar entrepreneur goes an extra mile
In a typical show of resourcefulness, SolarAid trained microsolar entrepreneur, James Mwakayoka, has extended his range of solar products for sale due to demand. Lanterns, torches and fans are now available alongside traditional Kadzuwa products.
James explained importance of the new stock for his business:
"The idea is to expand my microsolar business by sourcing and selling a variety of similar products. Having new products on my shelves will keep customers coming back, hoping to find something different."
James was trained in microsolar entrepreneurship in April 2008. He was then a member of Ungweru Youth Group. He praised SolarAid for, "teaching me how to fish as well as transforming me into a bread winner for my extended family."
