Training is only the beginning. The real journey starts when women leave the classroom and step into the marketplace.
Through the Solar Mtaani Dala Edition in Kisumu, we believe that technical skills alone are not enough. Alongside solar installation training, participants also learn practical business skills such as marketing, customer service, pricing, and sales. These lessons give them the confidence to turn their knowledge into a reliable source of income.
To keep the momentum going after graduation, the women created Solar Divas—a network built on collaboration, growth, and shared success. Together, they promote and sell solar products within their communities while using table banking to save regularly, access affordable loans, and reinvest in their businesses.
Solar Divas is more than a business group. It is a community of women who motivate one another, exchange ideas, overcome challenges together, and celebrate every milestone. By working as a team, they are proving that success grows stronger when it is shared.
Every solar product they install or sell does more than provide clean, reliable energy. It creates income, strengthens families, supports children's education, and helps women build businesses that can sustain them for years to come.
When women are equipped with technical knowledge, business skills, and the support of a strong network, they become powerful drivers of change. They don't just light homes—they create opportunities, inspire others, and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.
This is what Solar Divas represents: empowering women to build brighter futures while making clean energy more accessible to the communities they call home.
