"Energy and water for all in Cameroon and Africa"
Patrick Weti is a renewable energy engineer and start-up founder in Cameroon. His company OreoleTech wants to buy and sell solar systems. However, renewable energies are not yet popular in Cameroon – even though Patrick sees an enormous potential: "Solar energy is not only environmentally friendly, but also for free. Free access to electricity and hot water will no longer be a myth, but accessible to all levels of society." Patrick therefore invested his WIDU grant in equipment for his business - but also in marketing to increase the acceptance of solar systems in Cameroon.
"Thanks to WIDU's contribution, we will be able to initiate marketing activities, search for good suppliers and win markets by raising awareness of renewable energy."
"During one of my trips to Cameroon in March 2019, I noticed the energy and water problem we have. So I wanted to support my brother's business idea to help the population get the bare minimum of light and water."
