How we work.

We strive for having a positive impact on both people and the planet. That is why we are actively committed to building both a sustainable environment and a sustainable society. A significant part of that contribution is Bright Future, whose main purpose is to create a brighter future for people in need. Therefore, since 2015, we have been contributing to Solar Sister in Tanzania, which is a non-governmental organisation that promotes female entrepreneurship. Their model is to educate and support women to deliver solar lighting in rural areas where the electricity grid is very poor. The NGO was founded in 2010 and are also conducting solar cell projects in Uganda and Nigeria.

Fagerhult are making an annual contribution to Solar Sister, but has also appointed a project group of Bright Future ambassadors. Their main purpose is to inform about the project, follow up on the results, create engagement and to find channels to expand the aid. All contributions collected through the ambassadors go directly to selected aids that have been evaluated through visits to the contractors in Tanzania.

Solar Sister has been evaluated and selected by Social Initiative. Social Initiative regularly follows up the project and contributes knowledge and experience. Read more about Social Initiative on their website.
