We are a social entrepreneurship using renewable technology to accelerate rural development and empower businesses in rural Africa. We believe everyone should have access to affordable, reliable, sustainable energy and potable water to help improve their quality of life. We are proud to be a venture supported by KIC InnoEnergy. Our unique solution KUDURA (meaning "the power to change" in Swahili) is a reliable, proven and scaleable minigrid utility hub for remote areas with a 20 year lifetime guarantee. It is fully customizable to provide pre-paid electricity, biogas, biofertiliser and clean drinking water to rural villages, schools, clinics, farms, agricultural and industrial factories and commercial businesses. We have demonstrable improvements in outcomes like increasing income, access to education, improving health including reducing incidences of respiratory and waterbourne illness and other measurable outcomes. Our innovative business model transforms KUDURA into an investment vehicle, providing a financial ROI of up to 20% for the purchaser or developer in addition to the improved social & environmental outcomes. We kickstart small businesses within the community for added economic empowerment and poverty reduction. For more information visit www.rvesol.com.
