For many kids living in rural and non-electrified parts of South
Africa, the final school bell doesn't just signal the end of another day
of learning. Instead, it also means the beginning of an arduous trek
through busy and dangerous roads to get back home in time to complete
their homework before sunset.
For Thato Kgatlhanye,
this was all too familiar. She saw it every day in her hometown of
Rustenburg, a mining community in the North West province of South
Africa.
So the young entrepreneur decided to do something about it.
"This is our home. The
reason we started this business is we looked at our community and we
wanted to do work that matters," explains Kgatlhanye.
