    • Offer impactful, sustainable and scalable solar energy solution in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, and Sierra Leone to homes, schools, farms and campuses.

    • WLA was registered as a company in Kenya on 25th, July 2014 and we built two prototypes to test the solar market in the rural areas. The first one was put up at the Eastern part of Kenya and the other at the Coast. 

    • Since then, WLA has installed solar systems in homes and schools and empowered many to appreciate solar energy by using solar lanterns as opposed to kerosene lamps. Our goal is to be kingdom impactful, sustainable and scalable in people’s lives in Africa by being good stewards of the resources God has given us. 

    • WLA Systems are 20-100 kW self-contained solar power units capable of providing reliable, renewable power to entire campuses and communities.

    • Thirty percent of the population used kerosene for lanterns which gives off carbon monoxide which makes it difficult and dangerous of kids to study.
