Sabi Lamp

Our solar-powered fishing lamp – the Sabi Lamp – replaces the pressurised kerosene lanterns used by artisanal fishermen to attract Dagaa, a type of sardine common in equatorial freshwater lakes which constitutes over half of the total yearly catch of Lake Victoria. Having been co-designed with customers and users, the Sabi Lamps lead to increased incomes and improved livelihoods while being safer to use and cleaner for the environment. With the Sabi Lamp, fishermen can improve their catch by up to 30%, avoid toxic fumes, save on costs, and reduce lake ecosystem pollution.
