Having Electricity Makes My Job Easier.

Taylor, Mahasolo in Madagascar

"Now I can use my sewing machine. It speeds up my workflow because I no longer have to use my arm to operate the sewing machine. It makes us more productive. We can now finish up to ten clothing items per day instead of five."

Mrs. Fifaliana, Taylor, Mahasolo in Madagascar

An Impact Study At Our Mahavelona Site Shows: Clean, Affordable Energy Drives Development.

Monthly income per person increased from 14 € in 2023 to 120 € in 2025 The average household incomes even grew by a factor of 8.6 over this period.
Local small and medium businesses also experienced significant growth, with monthly revenues rising 14× between 2023 and 2025. In addition, 97% of respondents reported that the electricity we provide has improved safety and security in their community. 87% noted improvements in the situation of women, and 71% stated that their overall quality of life has improved thanks to reliable access to electricity.

Appliances for Productive Use of Energy.

We empower small business owners with stable, affordable, and sustainable electricity. But to truly benefit from it, they need access to modern electric machines. Many entrepreneurs can’t afford such equipment — bank loans are often unavailable, or interest rates are simply too high.

That's why we’ve launched a pre-financing program in partnership with ChargePoint. We equip local businesses with the right machines for food processing — from rice huskers to freezers — take care of procurement, transport, and assist with installation.

There Is A Big Difference Using Our New Electric Engine.

Rice Husking owner, Mahavelona in Madagascar

"Until recently I always used a diesel generator to run my husking mill. Finally, I started using an electric engine a while ago. We just switch it on and it immediately stars working. We don’t need to buy oil, spare parts and diesel anymore."

Mr. Bruno, Rice Husking owner, Mahavelona in Madagascar
