Hearty congratulations to @USADF Grantee – Havenhill Synergy
Ltd for winning the Microgrid Greater Good Award for a remote system. Your
Kigbe Solar Mini-grid project has engendered a boost of the community’s
economic activities, with several businesses like small-scale grocery stores,
hair salons, soccer-viewing centres, etc. now depending on the grid, which was
supported by @USADF, Power Africa, African Development Bank Mini-Grid HelpDesk
and Inensus GmbH, with technical & programmatic assistance from
@DDINigeria.
It has fostered gender equality, “by providing seed capital
to the first female entrepreneur within the community, exemplifying once again
that aside from access to electricity, a mini grid can do more, including
provision of jobs, entrenching gender equality, women empowerment, enhanced
health outcomes via access to clean water, education, and improved quality of
life. Congratulations to Havenhill Synergy Ltd. Indeed, you are on a mission to end blackout in Nigeria!
