Founded in 2014, Onelamp Uganda is a social enterprise focused on addressing the challenges of providing affordable clean, safe, and efficient lighting technology to rural communities in Uganda and the African continent. Recognizing the critical role of light in enabling quality education, the company aims to impact the lives of over 7.5 million children attending rural schools in Uganda, where only 1% have access to electricity.
With a strong belief in the correlation between education and solar energy, Onelamp has positioned itself as a catalyst for breaking the cycle of poverty that plagues these underserved communities. The company's approach involves providing individual affordable solar bulbs directly to students and offering Onelamp light cards, providing an entire academic term's access to clean light for just $2.
The recent Venture Round investment led by EEP Africa on 01 January 2021 showcases the growing interest and support for Onelamp's mission-driven initiatives. The investment reflects trust in the company's vision and its potential to make a significant impact in the energy sector and in improving educational opportunities for rural communities.
Overall, through its innovative approach and strategic partnerships, Onelamp Uganda stands at the forefront of the energy industry, offering a compelling solution to address the pressing issue of access to lighting and education in rural Uganda and beyond.
