Cheeba, Zambia

In September 2019, KiloWatts for Humanity in partnership with Caritas Monze, implemented a solar kiosk in Cheeba, Zambia. Although Cheeba is near one of Zambia’s largest hydropower stations, the people have no access to electricity until the solar kiosk was installed. In 2024, KWH expanded the kiosk to 8 kW of solar capacity and new lithium-ion batteries.

The kiosk is owned and operated by the Lower Kafue Women’s Center (a women’s group within the Cheeba community). The kiosk employs two people, and supplies electricity for freezers, mobile phone and battery charging, a barbershop, chicken incubators, and small grocery store.
