Testimonial
“We are proud to be a grantee of the GSMA Mobile for Development Utilities Innovation Fund. Such a partnership is a strong signal that we are aiming in the right direction. EDM, with its partners Sagemcom and Telma, always has the ambition to be a leader in its field. This help will allow us to replicate and validate our mini-grid model we already implemented with success in two villages. This is the second step, and a major one, in our project to give access to reliable and clean energy to rural population in Madagascar, and I am convinced it will lead to scaling on a national level.” – Hassanein Hiridjee, CEO
