Nine years ago, Patrick Ngowi, 28,
received a small loan from his mother to start off a business. He
started off selling Chinese mobile phones, but when he discovered that a
tiny fraction of Tanzanians enjoyed any access to stable and reliable
electricity, he knew he had to rectify that problem. Ngowi set up Helvetic Solar Contractors Limited, a company that is a pioneer in the supply, installation and maintenance of solar systems throughout the Northern Circuit of Tanzania.
Helvetic Solar Contractors is the first company in the Northern Circuit
to cater for Solar needs. The company did about $3 million in revenues
last year. Read more about Patrick Ngowi and Helvetic Solar here.
