(pronounced R-V-E-Sol)
RVE.SOL
Is a social entrepreneurship for profit - as a green mini-grid (GMG) project developer we deploy and operate Rural Energy Solutions. Over the last five years we have developed a unique customizable GMG-based energy access solution to rural development, integrating affordable water and energy access, mobile prepayment and metering and empowering entrepreneurial businesses for the eradication of rural poverty in Africa.
We believe that lack of access to clean energy and clean water is one of the fundamental perpetuators of rural poverty. Why is this important? Because millions of people are dying unnecessarily and poverty is a difficult cycle to break.
VISION
Everybody can leverage clean, renewable energy to sustainably eradicate poverty.
MISSION
Enable the access of the basic human right to light, water and food, leveraging renewable technology and micro-financing best practices to kick start socio-economic growth for the world’s least privileged in rural off-grid areas.
VALUES
As a social entrepreneurship for profit, we apply renewable energy technology to the benefit of the world’s poorest in a way that creates financial benefits for our investors, measurable life changing impetus for our customers and measurable sustainable impact on the environment in which we operate.
TEAM
