Awattsi Women

During a revisit to a community in Malawi, we met some very happy light recipients. Shortly after receiving their Watts of Love solar light and financial literacy empowerment training, they formed a group and named themselves "aWATTSi" after Watts of Love. 

Thanks to their Watts of Love solar lights, these empowered women started weaving together in the dark afternoons after spending the day caring for their crops. They were able to earn extra income selling baskets, mats, and other goods, increasing their production every week. As a group, they shared how they hold each other accountable for their savings with the money no longer spent on candles for light! 

These women are a great example of how solar light and financial literacy can increase income and savings. Way to go Awattsi’s!
