When Francine Munyaneza became a refugee at 11, the lack of electricity underscored the reality of 94 million Great Lakes Region inhabitants who live without it. Those memories inspired this international finance and business management graduate to start Munyax Eco to help solve Rwanda’s energy challenges. Munyax Eco sells and installs cost-effective solar products, including home and water systems, LED lighting, and solar cold chains such as freezers and cold rooms - all manufactured and tested in Africa. Her efforts to bring affordable green energy to rural and urban communities benefit upwards of 762,804 Rwandans. Francine prioritizes women in her recruitment as marketers and as customers.
