Profile Mali
Sodigaz is a liquefied petroleum gas company in Mali. The majority of their product is used by women to meet household cooking needs. AREED provided a loan to Sodigaz in order to increase its gas storage capacity and purchase more cylinders for distribution. These were two of the major constraints on growth.
Profile Ghana
Toyola began as a fuel efficient stove company in Ghana. The stoves have a clay core that is surrounded by metal. The benefit of the stoves is that this design improves the efficiency of charcoal use so that less charcoal is needed to produce the same amount of heat. Now they also offer solar lanterns and small solar systems.
Profile Senegal
Vent et Eau pour la Vie, VEV, is an enterprise that repairs and installs wind powered water pumps in Senegal. They were supported by the AREED program due to their lack of capital for inventory and the purchase of an additional vehicle. These two limitations greatly hindered VEV's ability to quickly address repair issues because they would often have to wait until parts were imported or made and also ensure that the vehicle was not already out for another repair job.
