sustainable impact

all-you-can-eat power for a week

transformational change from day one

The impact of Indigo is felt by the whole family but in particular by women to traditionally carry the responsibility for both household tasks and for childcare. Key benefits include:

  • extend the working day by typically three hours
  • more time to learn, earn and engage in family activities
  • eliminating harmful emissions caused by burning kerosene and problems associated with smoke inhalation
  • no longer limited by availability of kerosene – access to the “permanent light”
  • save time on trips to the market for mobile phone charging
  • children extend their study day – often by 2 hours or more per night

“Before, I spent 3 hours to take my phone for charging 3 times per week -
that was 9 hours a week which is a whole day I can now spend working on my farm”

 

These collective knock-on effects of Indigo are crucial to its sustainable impact to stimulate economic growth at the local level. Indigo customers save money and can participate in revenue generating activities as they grow their Indigo unit through the Energy Escalator.
