Enlight Institute Has Partnered with The Signify Foundation, Signify, ENVenture and RAA to Distribute Affordable Philips Lights to Rural Areas in Uganda
The purpose of this partnership is to effectively deliver the Bright Dada project objective, which is to work with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) with the end goal of livelihood opportunity development and increased access to clean technology lighting in underserved, hard-to-reach communities in rural centres of Uganda.
This partnership fosters a women/youth-led and clean energy distribution model to ensure sustainable and affordable lighting for the last mile consumer.
Fifteen heads of CBOs from different regions in Uganda will receive free training plus a Philips lighting starter kit on 18th November 2021.
Enlight Institute with support from ENventure will provide training, mentorship and coaching in key areas of sales, marketing, customer service, branding and record-keeping as well as product knowledge.
This will create a trickle-down effect and create sales jobs for the people they support hence spurring community development -and in turn, the CBOs will support the distribution of eco-friendly and affordable lighting in the areas they operate.
In addition to that, renowned Musician Lamu who also doubles as Miss Earth Uganda 2021, has been chosen as RAA’s Sanitary Pads ambassador, Stay Easy and True Clean.
As a Community Projects Coordinator at Enlight Institute, she will be able to continue her work in the pro-environment and sexual reproductive health sector by delivering and distributing biodegradable pads to the less fortunate in the rural areas of Uganda.
