This week we let go hands to our amazing donors and supporters - the Embassy of Sweden in Uganda and the United Nations Capital Development Fund - as the Renewable Energy Challenge Fund (RECF) comes to an end. With the goal to increase access to renewable, efficient energy for domestic, productive and social uses among underserved poor households, especially in rural areas achieved, Simoshi is forever grateful for the USD 100,000 grant received that today comes to an end.
We have made our Project Activity “Institutional Improved Cook Stoves for Schools and Institutions in Uganda” a success, have gone through the difficult Covid-19 times when schools closed for almost 2 years, and are today financially independent, preparing for our fourth verification exercise - all thanks to RECF: back in 2017 they believed in our business model, and we couldn’t have made them more proud as we had exceeded all initial milestones!
Below we share some moments of the closing event that took place last Wednesday at the Protea Hotel in Kololo. It was inspiring to hear the stories of many other supported projects that had the same positive experiences, just like ours. Thumbs up to donors that truly appreciate and celebrate the successes achieved.
