Business Development Fellowship
Empowering leaders in local communities through business innovation
Problem: A lack of access to electricity
In Uganda, access to electricity is limited in rural communities, creating a significant energy gap that hampers economic growth, education, and overall quality of life. The reliance on fossil fuels not only proves unsustainable but also stifles innovation and progress. Local clean energy entrepreneurs have the potential to transform these communities, yet many lack the necessary mentorship and resources to build successful businesses.
