About us

Energy for Progress

We believe energy and technology are essential for driving real change. Our mission is to tackle inequalities by providing reliable, sustainable solutions that are accessible to everyone. We’re confident that these resources are key to improving living conditions, creating economic opportunities, and supporting long-term development.

Looking ahead to 2030, our goal is to equip one million households across Madagascar with energy and technology solutions, even in the most remote areas. By bringing power to these homes, we’re helping build a more equitable future where progress and sustainability are within everyone’s reach.

A Story of Progress and Impact

histoire-1

In 2012

HERi was founded with a simple yet powerful idea: to provide accessible energy solutions to low-income communities in rural Madagascar. We began with a network of solar kiosks, enabling remote households to access essential services like solar lamp rentals.

By 2021

We expanded our vision with a multi-channel distribution model and inclusive financing solutions, tailored to local economic realities. Our goal was to offer high-quality, modern solar solutions at affordable prices for all. This approach allowed us to significantly increase our impact and meet the needs of more households across the country.
