Kathy Ayikoru is the Solar Hub Manager Arua. She is responsible for charging the batteries, ensuring that the equipment is maintained and distributing the batteries to the Lessees at the Distribution Points.
Kathy tells her own story:
“It’s great to have had grant support for women’s livelihood and gender equality. My job involves ensuring all the batteries are charged and safely distributed. It’s so good to be able to access all the key data on the business and control the allocation and monitoring of battery rentals … all using a mobile phone.
I have also been able to earn a decent income from working on this project and took up my studies again.”
