SOLshare’s signature product, the SOLbox, is a machine to machine (M 2 M) enabled integrated direct current bi directional power meter that forms one node of a peer to peer (P 2 P) solar microgrid. This enables refugees and low income communities to trade their solar electricity via a mobile money linked platform in Bangladesh.
Assisting refugees with income generation projects in a vacuum that do not take into account the other challenges they are facing, often fail. This project supports refugees with transport stipends, childcare during training and start-up capital.
The artisanal sector is now the second largest employer in the developing world and presents significant employment opportunities for refugees. In this project, artisans in refugee camps are connected to international markets and brands, as a means for income generation.
