Held consumer co-creation sessions comprising of BoP grasses, student designers and a design mentor aimed at developing propositions and translating them into tangible design executions.

Run a field trip with our client to interact with consumers and non-consumers of solar products.

A design expert session comprising of design experts and mentors was held with the aim of developing multiple tangible product designs and define a marketing
mix for each proposition or design.

The co-creation sessions led to the development of 2 solar solution concepts for 2 consumer groups. One of the two concepts was further developed and
tested amongst women in Makueni and Machakos.
