Front Office and Business Development Officer

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Founded by a team of passionate entrepreneurs with women on the fore front, Keru Solar was born from a shared vision to address two pressing challenges facing Africa: energy poverty and climate change. Inspired by our collective commitment to making a difference, we set out to create a company that not only provides clean energy solutions but also champions environmental stewardship and social inclusion.
At Keru Solar, our mission is clear: to empower communities across Africa with clean, affordable, reliable solar energy and clean cooking solutions while actively contributing to the fight against climate change. We believe that access to sustainable energy and clean cooking is a fundamental human right, and we're dedicated to bridging the gap for those living without electricity, particularly in rural and underserved areas. What sets us apart is our holistic approach to energy access and environmental sustainability. In addition to deploying solar energy systems and clean cooking solutions, we're committed to planting trees through our “Adopt a tree program” as a further measure to combat climate change. By integrating tree planting initiatives into our business model, we're not only offsetting carbon emissions but also rejuvenating landscapes, restoring biodiversity, and creating additional benefits for local communities.
We believe in the power of collaboration. That's why we're proud to partner with like-minded organizations, government agencies, NGOs, and local communities to amplify our impact and drive positive change together.
