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.
