Moshi Ismail was a solar entrepreneur for about 7 years before the introduction of the WESolVE project in Magugu town in Tanzania. Moshi lives with her three children.
In 2014, while attending an agricultural seminar Moshi encountered representatives from Solar Sister who introduced her to the business opportunity of selling solar products through the Solar Sister Entrepreneurship (SSE) programme.
“Initially my solar business was doing okay but I did not have many customers, but when the WESolVE project was introduced to us in September 2019, my business started to thrive. I got many customers and my income doubled from earning about USD 30 a month in commissions to USD 70”, shares Moshi.
She adds that, “This business helps me earn more and enables me to take care of my household necessities”. Moshi is now participating in protecting the environment by encouraging women in her community to not spend money on buying candles and kerosene for lamps.
With the increased income, Moshi has opened a small shop, bought cattle, and is currently renovating her home.
