Solar power and satellite internet reach a school that had neither — and a community WiFi café and small ICT levy turn that connection into the income that repays the loan.
The whole setup is financed as an asset — so the school pays nothing upfront, and the community covers the cost.
Solar panels, a Starlink dish and computers are set up at the school and financed by a loan.
The community buys WiFi vouchers to get online — a real income stream from day one.
A small ICT levy per pupil is collected through mobile money or cash at the counter.
That income services the loan automatically. Once it's cleared, the income is the school's.
Runs the lab off-grid, where mains power never reached.
Starlink connectivity fast enough for a whole computer lab.
A gatekeeper on the router — no voucher, no internet — for lab and community alike.
ICT levy and voucher sales collected via InnBucks, EcoCash and cash.
Counter cash tracked as pending until it's deposited — nothing goes missing.
A read-only view for the financier: who's on track, who's behind, in real time.
No upfront cost. The connection pays for itself.
