Our proudly South African company was founded in 2008. Afrihome manufactures, assembles, sells, and installs solar home systems (SHS) and related utility products and services. We would like to see all people living in rural or informal settlements in Southern Africa have access to power, water, sanitation and employment.
Through our range of customized products and services, we would like to improve lives, create jobs, and grow small businesses.
Afrihome wants to do well… Afrihome wants to do good.
Our focus is rural areas or informal settlements where there is no access to electricity or other services. A significant portion of our market consists of individual home owners or groups within communities or areas that are interested in community upliftment. Afrihome aims to improve the quality of life of people in these communities with sustainable and affordable solutions.
Afrihome's core offering is customised solar power solutions, which form the foundation of our business. A variety of products can be operated using solar power, including a LED lighting system, a drinking water distribution system, an ablution facility, remote monitoring, and WiFi system.
We are committed to offering products that contribute to a healthier, safer and more sustainable environment. Our target market was thoroughly researched over a number of years to fully understand the complexities and challenges inherent in this environment. Afrihome understands its target market extremely well.
Having operated in informal settlements for many years, our products have been carefully selected and tailored to meet our clients' needs. The products are based on the specific needs expressed by customers and communities. Keeping in mind that affordability is a major concern for potential customers, we offer competitive pricing as well as a variety of payment plans and options.
Our solar systems range from small lights and charging models to products that run lights, TVs, and fridges. It is possible to power 4-6 homes at the same time using our innovative grid models. Due to solar's position as the anchor product, a number of secondary products have been developed, including lights, heat extraction fans, water pumps, remote cameras, TV sets, refrigerators, water storage and distribution systems, ablution facilities, and remote controlled security cameras.
These solar systems harness the power of the sun to generate electricity, allowing individuals and households in informal settlements to access clean, safe and renewable energy.
By reducing reliance on traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels, Afrihome's solar systems not only provide a reliable source of electricity but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. Our two solar brands are Lighty and Woza.
In addition to solar systems, Afrihome also offers clean water systems. Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental right, yet many individuals in informal settlements face challenges in obtaining clean water.
Afrihome's clean water systems utilize advanced filtration technologies to purify water from various sources, ensuring that individuals have access to clean and safe drinking water. For convenience and safety, our solar powered water system distributes water throughout the home.
Afrihome understands the importance of proper sanitation in improving overall health and well-being. Our sanitation systems provide practical and hygienic solutions for individuals living in informal settlements and rural areas.
These systems are designed to be safe, cost-effective, easy to use, and environmentally friendly, while addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by communities in informal settlements.
As a result of Afrihome's products, individuals, businesses, and small businesses have access to energy and utility solutions, fostering entrepreneurship that has led to the creation of small businesses and jobs.
