Entrepreneur trainings, by our teams in Senegal and Burkina Faso, are the perfect opportunity for future sales agents to spread the word about access to sustainable energy, improve the livelihoods in rural areas, whilst making an extra income. These entrepreneurs become solar ambassadors and make a remarkable impact on the local economy. Since 2014, our entrepreneurship network – mostly women – has sold more than 40,000 solar products.
