At the end of February 2022, we installed 2 OffGridBoxes in the Nakivale refugee settlement in Isingiro, Uganda. Our first two boxes deployed in Uganda! They were sent across the border from our office in Rwanda, and our chief technician Jado Ndayambaje went along to deploy them. They are part of a project funded by the Smart Communities Coalition Innovation Fund, for which OffGridBox, together with Nakivale-based savings group Moban SACCO, and Sweden-based company BiziSol put in a successful bid.

Rural development may be extremely challenging, but we are glad that we were able to effectively implement these long term infrastructure projects. The United Nations Development Program has been a critical partner to helping make affordable clean water and electricity a reality to 24,000 rural villagers.
