Light Where It Matters Most

Maungo a Letsatsi — meaning Fruits of the Sun — is a youth-led, community-centred solar initiative bringing clean, affordable energy to off-grid villages in Botswana. Our mission is to turn sunlight into opportunity.

We install solar mini-grids that power homes, clinics, and schools. We train youth — especially young women — as certified solar technicians, creating visible role models in a sector where youth and women are underrepresented. We help young people start solar-powered micro-enterprises.

We operate under Argus Technologies, a 100% citizen-owned Botswana company registered in 2025.

Every ray of sunlight is a seed of possibility. We just give communities the tools to harvest it.

Our Vision

A Botswana where no community is left in the dark, and where youth – especially young women – lead the green economy.

What We Do

Three Pillars of Change

01

Solar Mini-Grids

Installing solar panels with battery storage to power homes, clinics, schools, and community businesses in Botswana's most remote and underserved villages.

02
👩‍🔧

Technical Training for Youth

Providing hands-on training for youth — especially young women — to become certified solar technicians. They learn installation, maintenance, and repair, creating local jobs and visible role models.

03
🌱

Enterprise Incubation

Supporting community members to start solar-powered micro-enterprises — refrigeration, phone charging, small-scale milling — building economic independence.

Meet Mphoentle Katlo Soke

Mphoentle is a young Motswana woman who saw how lack of electricity holds back entire communities — families, clinics, schools, and businesses. She founded Maungo a Letsatsi with a simple conviction: that sunlight is the most democratic resource on earth, and every community deserves to harvest it.

She built Maungo a Letsatsi to prove that solar energy isn't just an infrastructure solution — it's a platform for youth leadership, women's empowerment, community enterprise, and lasting dignity.
