Welcome To Sendea
A Cooperative Of Ugandan Solar Companies

About Us

Association of Sendea Members Uganda” (Sendea UG) is a network of like-minded local solar companies in Uganda. The member companies follow strong quality standards for technology, customer service, finance.

Local small and medium enterprises (SME) are key drivers of economic and social progress. Rapidly growing entrepreneurial enterprises are often viewed as important sources of innovation, productivity growth and employment.

Why Sendea

Small and medium enterprises (SME) are the main driver for innovation, poverty reduction, employment generation and social integration. The lack of small and medium enterprises in developing countries is a significant obstacle – commonly referred to as “the missing middle”.

SMEs require little capital, have the quality to make a quick decision, work with manual labour and in low level of management expenses. While microenterprises typically stay small, SMEs are designed to grow: they start with a few employees, but with the right support they are able to scale, create sustainable jobs upwards of 200 or more and deliver reliable services to needy customers.

Problems Sendea Is Solving

Small and unknown
  • Difficulties to get products due to the small order size these young companies have.
  • Not big enough to get support for business and management support.
  • Strong restrictions in accessing required capital: “Wait-and-see” attitude of investors, no loans from local banks or only with unfavorable lending conditions.
Lack of knowledge exchange

For young entrepreneurs it is very difficult to get information and exchange field experiences about products, customer service, or general management.

The need for the opportunity to share experiences with other entrepreneurs is evident. It remains important not only for the early stage, but also during the growth of the company.
