Akayange is our fifth Kinvest Solar Market Hub, and it’s already helping local entrepreneurs grow their businesses in practical ways. Electricity, shelter, and security have made a real difference. 

Jean Nepo Museni Ntambara, a crop seller, shared: 
“There’s a big difference between then and now. Before, our work depended on daylight. Now, with electricity, I can sell for as long as I want. That freedom has increased my income.” 

Sofia Musabyimana, who runs a food stall, said: 
“My profits have increased because I can now work throughout the day and late into the night. I don’t have to carry my goods home anymore. It’s safer, and I can focus on growing my business.” 

Francine Uwimbabazi, who sells food and flour, told us: 
“Before, I worked in the open with no shelter. Now, I have a covered space with electricity. I can stock more, sell more, and feel secure. My profits are growing, and I can better support my family.” 

Moses Bizimana, also a food vendor, said: 
“Now I have a permanent place, and customers know where to find me. I’m no longer limited by time or unsafe spots. This helps my business a lot.” 

At Kinvest, we believe in unlocking potential of people. The transformation at the Akayange Kinvest Solar Market Hub is a clear example of this vision in action.
