About Mwangaza Light

Mwangaza Light Ltd was started in 2014 by two women with a passionate aversion to the fuel guzzeling, polluting and hazardous kerosene lamps and a commitment to use high quality solar solutions to improve family economy, education, health, and safety among urban and rural populations in East Africa.

Based on an appreciation of the role of faith-based institutions in the development of Africa, both historically and today, Mwangaza Light extended its focus to encourage institutions to shift from fuel use to clean energy. In 2016 Mwangaza Light entered collaboration with the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), a renowned church alliance and development actor in Kenya, and design of the Green Churches initiative, which seeks to enable churches take leadership on the transition to clean energy and climate change mitigation. The Green Churches initiative is our flagship as it brings together clean energy, environment protection, and entrepreneurship.

In 2017 we took initiative to design a solar solution that could cater for the pertinent need in churches for energy during worship, and which led to development of a solar public address system that we have since introduced to the East African market.

Since mid 2018, Mwangaza Light has developed partnerships with NCCK member churches such as the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), the African Brotherhood Church (ABC), the Pentecostal Fellowship of Africa (PEFA), and Friends Church in Kenya (FCK). We have also groomed partnership with a number of Evangelical churches and with Catholic and Muslim organisations. While collaboration with faith-based organisations is pivotal for Mwangaza Light, we are an independent social enterprise that has been started by or sponsored by any faith-based organisation.

During 2018 we expanded our management and sales team, took on energy efficient cookstoves, and grew partnership with SACCOs and other micro-finance institutions. By end of 2018, Mwangaza Light had gained presence in all corners of Kenya.
