Illuminating Lives: The WidEnergy Story
WidEnergy is dedicated to assisting the resilient rural women and smallholder farmers of Zambia who lack access to the national power grid. By offering solar energy solutions, WidEnergy aims to provide these communities with hope and improve their living conditions. The company believes in the potential of these individuals and is committed to bringing them sustainable energy options and opportunities for a brighter future.
With a team of over 600 dedicated community ambassadors, where 39% are women, and a workforce led by women at 60%, WidEnergy has ignited a new era of illumination. WidEnergy’s pay-as-you-go solar solution emerged as a beacon of affordability and accessibility, casting light into the darkest corners of rural Zambia. Each solar panel installed became a testament to resilience, a symbol of progress, and a catalyst for change. In these rural off-grid communities, mothers are no longer troubled by the burden of expensive and unhealthy alternatives to energy like kerosene, candles, and used batteries, these households embraced the promise of clean, renewable, and sustainable energy. WidEnergy is on a journey to light up an additional 40,000 households in the next four years under their Beyond the Grid Fund (BGFA) project.
The journey has not been without challenges, however Liliane Munezero Chabuka’s steadfast leadership steered WidEnergy through turbulent waters. Her unwavering dedication to the cause earned her the prestigious Renewable Energy & Clean Tech Award at the 2023 She-N-Tech recognition Awards by the National Technology Business Centre (NTBC), under the ministry of Technology and Science; a testament to her visionary stewardship.
Today, WidEnergy’s story echoes across the verdant plains of the six (6) provinces in Zambia, resonating with hope and possibility. It is a story of empowerment, resilience, and the transformative power of clean energy. As we stand on the heights of a brighter future, let us join hands with WidEnergy Africa Ltd, illuminating the path towards a sustainable tomorrow for all–one household at a time.
