The sun was just rising over the marketplace as the Renewable Hub activation team set up their display of clean cooking stoves and solar products. By mid-morning, curious community members had gathered, eager to learn about these innovative solutions they had heard about from neighbors.
The activation visit focused on three key products: improved charcoal stoves, electric pressure cookers, and the Digiwave induction cooker. Each demonstration drew crowds of interested onlookers, particularly women who do most of the cooking in their households.
At one demonstration, Grace Nakato watched intently as the team prepared a meal using the Digiwave cooker. "I spend so much money on charcoal every week," she said. "If this really uses less fuel and cooks faster, it would change everything for my family."
The team didn't just demonstrate products—they educated communities about the broader benefits of clean cooking. Health impacts of indoor air pollution, environmental benefits of reduced charcoal use, and long-term cost savings all featured in their presentations.
Young people showed particular interest in the solar products. James, a 22-year-old student, examined the solar home systems carefully. "I could study at night without using expensive batteries or kerosene," he noted. "This could help so many students in our community."
The activation team also partnered with local retailers, training them to become distribution points for Renewable Hub products. "We're building a sustainable network," Sarah explains. "When we leave, these local entrepreneurs will continue serving their communities."
Community leaders welcomed the initiative warmly. "These products address real problems we face daily," noted village chairman Moses Wafula. "The activation visit has opened people's eyes to what's possible."
By the end of the three-day activation visit, the team had reached over 500 people across multiple communities. Orders were placed, new retailers were onboarded, and excitement about clean energy solutions spread through word-of-mouth.
For the Renewable Hub team, these activation visits are about more than sales—they're about building awareness, educating communities, and making sustainable energy accessible to everyone. "When people understand the benefits, they become advocates," Sarah says. "That's how we create lasting change."
