Uganda - Manufacturing - Solar Powered Products
This SME manufactures self-contained domestic solar water heaters which costs a quarter of the price of currently imported units, affordable for even low-income households. The heaters are a technological breakthrough that will benefit not only the rural poor in the developing world, but potentially developed markets as well. They are more reliable than current models, as they use less complex machinery, and use no electricity or fuel to operate, providing additional environmental benefit.
Rwanda - Manufacturing - Tent Production
This SME has four separate potential investments in the silk and fiber value chain, managed together through vertical integration. All are related to the production of silk and fibers for use as anti-malarial bednets and temporary housing tents, for which there is significant unmet demand in Rwanda and East Africa. The SME hopes to extend the benefits provided by international organizations working to stop the spread of malaria by serving as a local supplier for the products they require.
