Our Values

90% of the Malawian population live without any access to affordable and reliable electricity and light. Kumudzi Kuwale seeks to change this by providing solar energy solutions to private customers, businesses, organizations and institutions across Malawi, ranging from small, hand-held solar torches to large systems for off-grid businesses and solar water pumping. Kumudzi Kuwale is a for-profit social enterprise, meaning that we do not do charity, and that we do seek to generate profit on our projects. However, our social profile means that we keep profit magins low, and re-invest all profits into the community. This keeps us sustainable as a business, lets us provide stable and long-term employment for our colleagues, and allows us to provide affordable solar solutions to all Malawians. Just like the mobile & telecommunication industry has boomed in African countries the last decade, making sustainable energy available for every household, based on a solution where consumers pay after their means could and should be profitable. We aim to prove this, simply by running a successful business that supplies quality products at a price that is acceptable even to the most marginalized, rural population in Malawi.
