Solar Jooce continues to receive valuable feedback from the winners of the first youth RE and Entrepreneurship contest, held in September 2014.
Alternating possession of the prize Solar kit between each winner fostered internal competition and caused each team member to be more creative in generating revenue. Parents also became involved in supervising their children's new enterprise.
The winners' interaction with their customers provided valuable information on what features customers liked the most, and what product features the micro business thought could be improved.
Solar Jooce followed up every two weeks with visits to the dustbin village youth center in Ajegunle to facilitate the hand-over of the solar kit between the winning team members as well as review their written reports on running their micro enterprise.
Overall, the winners are showing confidence and understanding on the basics of solar power and how to start a micro enterprise. Below are excerpts from a report by Faith Eze.
Solar Jooce will conduct the last Youth RE & Entrepreneurship workshop for this year on Saturday 13th December 2014 at the LOTS charity Foundation youth center in Ajegunle, Lagos.
The session will focus on the advantages of using DC versus AC current.
Each of the 10 students will be challenged to write a one page essay on how they can utilise a DC (battery-operated) iron in running a micro business.
The prize for the best entry will be a brand new DC iron, designed to work off-grid.
Representatives of the Heinrich Boll Foundation (Nigeria) and the UN Habitat (Kenya) have graciously agreed to judge this round of entries as they did in the first round in September 2014.
May the best young lady or young man win!
