The “Umuco w'Iterambere” project is a public-private partnership initiative aimed at promoting energy solutions tailored to the needs of vulnerable households and communities without electricity. These solutions will also generate income for households in need by involving them in the provision of solar-based energy services in a country where only 9% of the population (2% in rural areas) has access to electricity and where wood is the main source of energy for households. This energy source is the main cause of household and environmental pollution and also harms human health. 100 households (600 people: 200 adults and 400 children) will benefit directly from this project and 1 500 people indirectly through access to the energy services provided by this project.
