IMPACT STORIES HIGHLIGHTS
Reaching last mile markets together
The Global Distributors Collective (GDC) unites and empowers the unsung heroes of development: last mile distributors. These are organisations that bring solar lanterns, clean cookstoves, water filters, nutritional products and other essential items to the hard-to-reach and low-income communities that mainstream markets overlook.
Bringing power to people, one charge at a time
After developing a battery rental service that replaces fossil fuel with solar-generated power, MOPO received TEA support to validate its technology, and enter new markets. MOPO has now passed 28 million battery rentals across sub-Saharan Africa and raised more than £21 million in further investment.
Reducing post-harvest losses for smallholder farmers through accessible cold storage
Solar-powered cold storage supports resilient food systems and limits post-harvest crop losses. With TEA funding, SokoFresh piloted a business model to bring these technologies straight to Kenya’s rural and often off-grid smallholder farmers, reducing spoilage to just 2%.
