In Uganda and Kenya, students not only receive a bicycle from but also the knowledge to maintain them themselves. During practical workshops, they learn how to carry out minor repairs and keep their bikes in top condition. A bicycle means more than just transportation: it provides access to education, independence, and a step toward a better future. 💪📚

🚲🔋 Powering the Future of Mobility in Uganda
We’re proud to announce a major milestone: the AfricroozE E-Mobility Hub in Jinja is now fully operational! 🇺🇬⚡

This pilot project is a key step in building a sustainable, locally rooted e-mobility ecosystem. With solar energy at its core, the hub enables affordable and clean transport for farmers, small businesses, health workers, and students in the region.

☀️ The 7.47 kWp solar system—installed and commissioned by our partner Asantys Systems—includes 15.36 kWh of battery storage, ensuring a reliable off-grid power supply to charge our e-bikes and support daily operations.

🛠️ Despite logistical challenges (including damaged PV panels in transit), the Asantys East Africa team ensured smooth installation and provided hands-on training for local technicians, strengthening long-term capacity and local value creation.

💡 The hub is now a model for scalable, decentralized transport infrastructure that blends German engineering with African impact. It reflects our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially in climate action, gender equity, and access to opportunity.

👏 Huge thanks to all partners and our Jinja-based team for bringing this vision to life.

📍 The future of transport in Africa is clean, inclusive, and solar-powered—and it’s already rolling.
