It is not enough to produce coffee though. There is need for the country to stand out, tell the Ugandan coffee story, and support the growers/farmers and the entire value chain to deliver consistent quality that buyers trust.

☀️ Solar power: Lighting the way to school connectivity.

For many rural schools, lack of electricity remains one of the biggest barriers to internet access. Across Sub‑Saharan Africa alone, millions of students attend schools with no power at all.

However, as solar becomes more affordable and scalable, it’s reshaping what’s possible. From modular, off‑grid hubs to mobile digital classrooms, solar‑powered solutions are helping schools connect.

In this blog, we explore how innovators from the recently concluded Giga Accelerator Programme are using solar to connect schools—one community at a time.
