Market Evaluation: Viability of the SoLite3 in Uganda

This report was crafted with the intention of responding to the research question posed to the Santa Clara University Global Social Benefit Fellow (GSBF) team placed in Uganda during the summer of 2013.

Solar Sister deliverables: Customer stories, Kiva profiles, and entrepreneur accounts

During a two month placement with Solar Sister in Uganda, the Santa Clara team was able to compile qualitative and quantitative data that will improve the organization\u27s awareness of their customers and employees. Three customers were interviewed and stories were written with short, medium, and long versions. Profiles were created for seven entrepreneurs that were deemed qualified enough to receive Kiva loans. Last, 50 Solar Sister Entrepreneurs were surveyed and important information was input into their Salesforce.com accounts. The team also compiled many photographs during Solar Sister site visits that will be transferred to Solar Sister online. Each customer story, Kiva profile, and Saleforce.com account has at least one photo attached to it. The following document contains samples of all the media and information we collected for Solar Sister
