Gimafor stands out as a social enterprise, while generating profits. Our projects focus on the productive uses of solar PV energy (solar pumping, solar grain mill service, solar irrigation, conservation, processing of agri-food products) and aims at empowering women and young people.

With the support of partners such as IRC, World Vision, CTB, PCCN-UNHCR, SNV, etc., we have distributed +10,000 solar lamps in refugee camps, and built three multiservice solar platforms for the benefit of three off-grid communities.
