Lights on in Tlhanyaku & Matsoaing

Hello everyone,

We are getting back into the swing of summer productive construction weather in Lesotho and excited to share some "on the ground" photos to help you picture what our team is up to on a day-to-day basis.

We continue to gain customers every day, with folks signing up for the service to let us know to put them on our design map.  Our team then strategically identifies which direction to grow our network from our generation stations to serve the customers in the queue.  In these upcoming months we are focusing on construction and customer onboarding at two of the sites, Tlhanyaku & Matsoaing.  The team is planting poles, stringing wires, and connecting to houses - every house has a pay-as-you-go meter, and many our team also installs a "ready-board" which is an instant-solution for home electrification, with a light and several electrical outlets.

In Benin we are continuing work at our pilot site and working day-by-day to translate all of our design tools and policies from Lesotho to Benin - from the southern to the northern hemisphere and from English to French.  It's a big effort, but we are seeing progress day by day!

Best of wishes to each and every one of you for the upcoming holiday season!

Best,
-Matt
