GIVEWATTS a social enterprise that started in the year 2015, specializes in renewable energy and energy saving products. The products they distribute have not only saved their customers time and money, but also contributes to a greener and cleaner environment.
In the last year, GIVEWATTS has managed to sell more than 2,000 Jikokoa life saving stoves in Kenya and Tanzania. They mostly reach out to off-the-grid populations with low income levels and provide a friendly and flexible payment plan whereby they allow payment in instalments of up to four months. This has increased their credibility with their customers and has enabled them to stay in close touch with them.
GIVEWATTS will use the Kiva loan to expand its business by purchasing more Jikokoa stoves. With this, they will be able to grow and improve the availability and accessibility of the lifesaving stoves to underserved areas.
